Decision
Matter of: Sunglim Engineering & Construction Company, Ltd.
File:     B-419067.3
Date:     August 6, 2021
Sang Chin An, for the protester.
Matthew R. Keiser, Esq., Department of the Army, for the agency.
Glenn G. Wolcott, Esq., and Christina Sklarew, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
DIGEST
Significant weaknesses that should have been identified and disclosed during an
agency's initial evaluation, but were not, must be disclosed after they are identified by
the agency's subsequent evaluation. As such, discussions, conducted by the agency
as part of its corrective action following a prior protest, were not meaningful where the
agency did not disclose an evaluated flaw the agency first identified in its reevaluation of
the protester's unchanged proposal.
DECISION
Sunglim Engineering & Construction Company, Ltd., of Busan, Korea, protests the
award of a contract to Yibon Construction Co., Ltd,, of Seoul, Korea, pursuant to
request for proposals (RFP) No. W912UM-20-R-0002, issued by the Department of the
Army, Corps of Engineers, to provide paving and related construction services at
airfields in South Korea. Sunglim primarily asserts that the agency's evaluation of its
technical proposal was unreasonable and that the agency failed to conduct meaningful
discussions.

We sustain the protest.
