DOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE
The decision issued on the date below was subject to
Decision                           a GAO Protective Order. This version has been
approved for public release.
Matter of:  U.S. Marine Management, Inc.
File:     B-420468
Date:     April 14, 2022
Robert E. Korroch, Esq., Anthony A. Anikeeff, Esq., and Lauren N. Pennington, Esq.,
Williams Mullen, for the protester.
James Y. Boland, Esq., Lindsay M. Reed, Esq., and Allison M. Siegel, Esq., Venable
LLP, for Crowley Government Services, Inc., the intervenor.
Ann C. Calabrese, Esq., Department of the Navy, 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 challenging the agency's evaluation of the awardee's proposal under the
technical and price evaluation factors is dismissed where the protester cannot
demonstrate that it is an interested party to raise these grounds of protest.
2. Protest contending that the agency waived or relaxed certain solicitation
requirements for the awardee is dismissed as untimely where the protester filed it more
than 10 days after it knew the bases for its grounds of protest and the debriefing
exception to our timeliness rules does not apply because the protester's post-award
debriefing was not a required debriefing.
DECISION
U.S. Marine Management, Inc., of Norfolk, Virginia, protests the award of a contract to
Crowley Government Services, Inc., of Jacksonville, Florida, under request for
proposals (RFP) No. N3220520R4143, issued by the Department of the Navy, Military
Sealift Command, for the time charter of an ice-class tanker vessel with identified
specifications and capabilities. The protester contends that the agency improperly
waived or relaxed multiple solicitation requirements and unreasonably evaluated the
awardee's proposal under the technical and price factors.

We dismiss the protest.
