Accountability * Integrity * Reliability of the United States United States Government Accountability Office DOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE Washington, DC 20548 The decision issued on the date below was subject to a GAO Protective Order. This redacted version has been approved for public release. Decision Matter of: Global, A ist Flagship Company File: B-297235; B-297235.2 Date: December 27, 2005 William A. Roberts III, Esq., Richard B. O'Keeffe, Jr., Esq., Michael S. Caldwell, Esq., and William J. Grimaldi, Esq., Wiley Rein & Fielding LLP, for the protester. Michael J. Gardner, Esq., Troutman Sanders LLP, for George G. Sharpe, Inc., an intervenor. Robert J. McMullen, Esq., and Lori S. Chofnas, Esq., Department of the Navy, for the agency. Glenn G. Wolcott, Esq., and Michael R. Golden, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST In procurement that placed greater importance on technical factors, agency's establishment of a competitive range of one, which consisted of the awardee's technically unacceptable initial proposal and which excluded protester's highly acceptable technical proposal, on the basis that protester's evaluated cost/price was 15 percent higher than the awardee's, was not reasonable where the agency's cost/price evaluation reflected various flaws and erroneous assumptions. DECISION Global, A ist Flagship Company protests the Department of the Navy's award of a contract to George G. Sharpe, Inc. under request for proposals (RFP) No. N00140-05-R-0042. The solicitation sought proposals to operate and maintain East Coast inactive ships for the Naval Inactive Ship Management Office (NISMO) in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Global maintains that the agency's establishment of a competitive range consisting of only Sharpe's proposal reflected various evaluation errors and lacked a reasonable basis. We sustain the protest.
