DIGEST
Protest alleging that awardee failed to satisfy material solicitation requirement for
restrooms in a permanent structure is sustained where agency failed to establish the
reasonableness of its evaluation conclusion that the awardee offered a permanent
structure as required by the solicitation.
DECISION
WRG Fire Training Simulation Systems, Inc., a service-disabled veteran-owned small
business of Newberg, Oregon, protests the award of a contract to the Maritime Institute
of Technology and Graduate Studies (MITAGS), of Linthicum Heights, Maryland, under
request for proposals (RFP) No. N61340-20-R-0016, issued by the Department of the
Navy, Naval Air Systems Command, Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems
Division, for live-fire and damage control trainings. The protester contends that the
agency should have evaluated the awardee as technically unacceptable.
We sustain the protest.
BACKGROUND
Through the procurement at issue here, the agency sought a contractor-owned turnkey
facility at which the contractor will provide instructors and other personnel to administer
agency-prescribed live-fire firefighting and damage control training courses to Navy and
U.S. Coastguard personnel stationed in the Pacific Northwest Fleet Concentration Area
in the Seattle, Washington vicinity. Contracting Officer's Statement and Memorandum
