Decision
Matter of:  People, Technology and Processes, LLC
File:     B-418781.4
Date:     July 2, 2021
Victor L. Buonamia, for the protester.
Major Mark T. Robinson, and Major Aaron K. McCartney, Department of the Army, for
the agency.
Raymond Richards, Esq., and John Sorrenti, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO,
participated in the preparation of the decision.
DIGEST
Protest arguing that an agency's decision to reevaluate the quoted professional
compensation pursuant to Federal Acquisition Regulation provision 52.222-46 is
insufficient to remedy a previously protested failure to review the realism of prices is
denied where the record shows that this decision is reasonable, consistent with the
terms of the unique solicitation at issue, and the protester cannot claim to be
competitively prejudiced by the agency's intended approach.
DECISION
People, Technology and Processes, LLC (PTP), a service-disabled veteran-owned
small business of Tampa, Florida, protests the scope of the agency's corrective action
taken following PTP's prior protest of the issuance of a task order under request for
quotations (RFQ) No. W9124L20R0020. The task order was issued by the Department
of the Army for personnel to instruct the joint fires observers (JFO) course at Fort Sill,
Oklahoma. The protester argues that the agency's corrective action in response to a
previous protest fails to include an evaluation of price realism and fails to resolve a
latent ambiguity in the solicitation.1
We deny the protest.
1 The protester here proceeded without legal counsel and no protective order was
issued in this protest. The agency filed both a protected and redacted version of its
report with our Office. Our discussion here references the redacted version of the
report, when possible, and is necessarily general in nature in order to avoid reference to
non-public information.
