Comptroller General Washington, DC 20548 of the United States Decision DOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE Matter of: MP Solutions, LLC The decision issued on the date below was subject to a GAO Protective Order. This version has been File: B-420953; B-420953.2 approved for public release. Date: November 21, 2022 Ron R. Hutchinson, Esq., Doyle & Bachman LLP, for the protester. David Z. Bodenhemier, Esq., and Madison Plummer, Esq., Nichols Liu LLP, for nTSI, LLC, the intervenor. Captain Paula F. Barr, Missile Defense Agency, for the agency. Heather Self, Esq., and Peter H. Tran, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest filed while questions were pending in a pre-award debriefing from a Department of Defense agency is not premature because the Department's enhanced debriefing procedures apply only to post-award debriefings. 2. Protest challenging the agency's evaluation of proposal and exclusion from the competitive range is denied because the allegations reflect the protester's disagreement with the agency's evaluation judgments, which the record reflects were reasonable and consistent with the solicitation. 3. Protest alleging first instance of improper disclosure of source selection information is denied because the agency conducted a reasonable investigation and concluded that no disclosure occurred. Protest alleging second instance of improper disclosure of source selection information is dismissed as untimely where the issue was raised more than ten days after the protester knew or should have known the basis of its protest. DECISION MP Solutions, LLC, a small business of Alexandria, Virginia, protests its exclusion from the competitive range under request for proposals (RFP) No. HQ0858-22-R-0003, issued by the Missile Defense Agency for specialized engineering analysis services. The protester challenges the evaluation of its proposal under multiple non-price factors. Additionally, the protester alleges two instances of agency disclosure of source selection information in violation of the procurement integrity provisions of the Office of Federal Procurement Policy Act, 41 U.S.C. §§ 2101-2107, known as the Procurement Integrity Act (PIA), and contends that the disclosures provided another offeror (nTSI LLC, the intervenor) an unfair competitive advantage.
