Decision
Matter of: Vigor Marine LLC
File:     B-420955.2
Date:     October 31, 2022
Stowell B. Holcomb, Esq., Jackson Holcomb, LLP, for the protester.
Noah B. Bleicher, Esq., Nathaniel E. Castellano, Esq., and Aime JH Joo, Esq., Jenner &
Block, LLP, for General Dynamics - National Steel and Shipbuilding Company, an
intervenor.
Timothy S. Taylor, Esq., Martha E. Hulley, Esq., and Lisa Cho, Esq., Department of the
Navy, for the agency.
Louis A. Chiarella, Esq., and Peter H. Tran, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO,
participated in the preparation of the decision.
DIGEST
Protest challenging terms of the solicitation is dismissed as untimely, and we decline to
review under the significant issue exception to our timeliness rules where the issue
raised would have limited application to future procurements and thus is not of
widespread interest to the procurement community.
DECISION
Vigor Marine LLC, of Portland, Oregon, protests the terms of delivery order request for
proposals (RFP) No. 0287, issued by the Department of the Navy, Naval Sea Systems
Command (NAVSEA), for dry-dock repair and alteration aboard the USS Kansas City
(LCS-22). Vigor contends that the solicitation improperly restricts the competition to the
ship's homeport offerors.
We dismiss the protest as untimely.
BACKGROUND
The USS Kansas City is an Independence-class littoral combat ship (LCS) homeported
in San Diego, California. Protest at 1. As with all naval vessels, the USS Kansas City
regularly requires maintenance, repair, and modernization.
