Comptroller General Washington, DC 20548 of the United States Decision Matter of: Monbo Group International File: B-420269; B-420269.2 Date: January 11, 2022 Dee Monbo for the protester. Captain Timothy McLister and Major Weston Borkenhagen, Department of the Army, for the agency. Christopher Alwood, Esq., and Christina Sklarew, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest that the agency's price realism analysis was unreasonable is denied where the agency's judgments were reasonable and consistent with the terms of the solicitation. 2. Protest that the agency could not eliminate the protester's proposal from the competition for proposing an unrealistic price without referring the matter to the Small Business Administration for review under its certificate of competency procedures is denied where the price realism requirement was part of the solicitation's evaluation scheme and not a responsibility criterion. DECISION Monbo Group International, a small business of the U.S. Virgin Islands, protests the award of a contract to Action Technologies, LLC, a small business, under request for proposals (RFP) No. W9127P-21-R-0001, issued by the Department of the Army for non-professional administrative support services. The protester contends that the agency's price realism analysis was unreasonable and that, to the extent it was reasonable, the agency could not eliminate its proposal from the competition without referring the matter to the Small Business Administration (SBA) for review under its certificate of competency procedures. We deny the protest.
