DIGEST
Protest challenging the evaluation of the awardee's proposal and the conduct of
discussions with the protester is dismissed where the protester's arguments do not
establish that its proposal would be next in line for award ahead of a third offeror whose
proposal offered a lower price and was more highly rated under the non-price factors as
compared to the protester's proposal.
DECISION
Ahtna Logistics, LLC, of Anchorage Alaska, protests the award of a contract to Akima
Infrastructure Protection, LLC (AIP), of Herndon, Virginia, by the Department of
Homeland Security, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), under request
for proposals (RFP) No. 70CDCR21 R00000007, for comprehensive detention services
at the Port Isabel Detention Center (PIDC), in Los Fresnos, Texas. The protester
argues that the agency unreasonably evaluated the awardee's technical proposal, past
performance, and price; conducted misleading discussion with the protester; and made
an unreasonable award decision.
We dismiss the protest because Ahtna is not an interested party to challenge the award
to AIP.
