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: Metson Marine Services, Inc. File: B-299705.2 Date: July 20, 2007 Margaret A. Dillenburg, Esq., Law Offices of Margaret A. Dillenburg, PC, and Alexander J. Brittin, Esq., Brittin Law Group, PLLC, for the protester. Richard P. Rector, Esq., and Carl L. Vacketta, Esq., DLA Piper US LLP, for Seaward Services, Inc., an intervenor. Joel A. Weger, Esq., and Pamela Castellano, Esq., Department of the Navy, Military Sealift Command, for the agency. Paula A. Williams, Esq., and Ralph 0. White, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest challenging evaluation of proposals and source selection decision is denied where agency's determinations were reasonable and consistent with the solicitation and protester's arguments amount to mere disagreement with the agency's conclusions. DECISION Metson Marine Services, Inc. protests the award of a contract to Seaward Services, Inc. under request for proposals (RFP) No. N00033-06-R-1013 issued by the Department of the Navy, Military Sealift Command (MSC) for port operations and vessel management services at the Naval Diving and Salvage Training Center (NDSTC) in Panama City, Florida.' The protester contends that the agency unreasonably evaluated offerors' past performance, failed to conduct meaningful discussions, and that the resulting award decision was improper. 1 This is the second of two separate follow-on contracts awarded to Seaward under RFP Nos. N00033-06-R-1012 (the Athena solicitation) and N00033-06-R-1013 (the Dive School solicitation). Because the issues raised by Metson challenging each award are separate and distinct, we have addressed the protest of each procurement separately.
