DOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE
The decision issued on the date below was subject to
Decision                            a GAO Protective Order. This redacted version has
been approved for public release.
Matter of: Vysnova Partners, Inc.
File:      B-420654; B-420654.2; B-420654.3
Date:     July 7, 2022
Eric Valle, Esq., Katherine B. Burrows, Esq., and Isaias Alba, Esq., Piliero Mazza PLLC,
for the protester.
James Braswell, Esq., General Services Administration, for the agency.
Mary G. Curcio, Esq., and Jonathan, L. Kang, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
DIGEST
1. Protest that agency unreasonably eliminated offeror's proposal from competition is
denied where protester failed to provide required cost/price documentation.
2. Protest that agency failed to conduct clarifications to address required cost/price
documentation missing from the protester's proposal is denied where clarifications are
not required and where the agency would have been required to engage in discussions,
rather than clarifications, to resolve the omission.
DECISION
Vysnova Partners, Inc., of Landover, Maryland, protests the decision of the General
Services Administration (GSA) to reject its proposal submitted in response to task order
request for proposals (TOR) No. 47QFCA21 R0058, issued for cybersecurity program
support. Vysnova asserts that the agency rejected its proposal for failing to submit
documentation that was not required by the solicitation. In the alternative, Vysnova
argues that the solicitation contained a latent ambiguity. Vysnova also argues that the
agency should have engaged with Vysnova in clarifications to correct any
misunderstanding of its proposal.
We deny the protest.
BACKGROUND
The solicitation, for cybersecurity support services, was issued on February 15, 2022, to
contract holders under the GSA One Acquisition Solution for Integrated Services
