Comptroller General Washington, DC 20548 of the United States DOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE The decision issued on the date below was subject to Decision a GAO Protective Order. This redacted version has been approved for public release. Matter of: Tridentis, LLC File: B-418690.4 Date: January 5, 2021 Alexander B. Ginsburg, Esq., Robert C. Starling, Esq., Meghan Doherty, Esq, and Dinesh Dharmadasa, Esq., Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman LLP, for the protester. James J. McCullough, Esq., and Michael J. Anstett, Esq., Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson LLP, for Marine Systems Corporation, an intervenor. Candice Thomas, Esq., Matthew Hawkins, Esq., Department of the Navy, for the agency. Katherine I. Riback, Esq., and Evan C. Williams, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest challenging the agency's rejection of the protester's proposal as technically unacceptable is denied, where the protester failed to establish that it possessed a facility security clearance on the due date for receipt of proposals, as required by the solicitation. DECISION Tridentis, LLC, a small business of Alexandria, Virginia, protests the disqualification of its proposal by the Department of the Navy, Naval Sea Systems Command, under request for proposals (RFP) No. N00178-19-R-3500, issued for ship integration services. Tridentis argues that its proposal was unreasonably excluded for not meeting a solicitation requirement that involved a matter of responsibility, and, therefore was able to be fulfilled prior to award. The protester also argues that it demonstrated its compliance with the solicitation requirement at the time of proposal submission. We deny the protest. BACKGROUND On May 23, 2019, the agency issued the solicitation, as a small business set-aside, under the Navy's Seaport-Next Generation (SeaPort-NXG) multiple award contract.
