Comptroller General Washington, DC 20548 of the United States DOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE The decision issued on the date below was subject to D e s / ' +'a GAO Protective Order. This redacted version has been approved for public release. Matter of: Science Applications International Corporation File: B-420005; B-420005.2; B-420005.3 Date: October 27, 2021 James J. McCullough, Esq., Michael J. Anstett, Esq., Anayansi Rodriguez, Esq., and Christopher H. Bell, Esq., Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson LLP, for the protester. Gregory R. Hallmark, Esq., Eric S. Crusius, Esq., Hillary J. Freund, Esq., and Amy Fuentes, Esq., Holland & Knight LLP, for Noble Sales Company d/b/a Noble Supply and Logistics, an intervenor. Elan D. Taylor, Esq., and Linwood I. Rogers, Esq., Defense Logistics Agency, for the agency. Scott H. Riback, Esq., and Tania Calhoun, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest challenging adequacy of discussions is sustained where the record shows that agency found protester's prices unreasonably high but did not advise the protester of its findings during discussions. 2. Protest that agency misevaluated proposals is sustained where the record shows that agency solicited--and then largely ignored--information from the offerors that would have enabled the agency to meaningfully evaluate whether the proposed prices were fair and reasonable. DECISION Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC), of Fairfield, New Jersey, protests the award of a contract to Noble Sales Company d/b/a Noble Supply and Logistics, of Rockland, Massachusetts, under request for proposals (RFP) No. SPE4A5-20-R-0150, issued by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) for the acquisition of hardware and abrasives under federal stock group 53 (FSG 53). SAIC argues that the agency misevaluated proposals, failed to engage in meaningful discussions, and made an unreasonable source selection decision. We sustain the protest.
