Comptroller General Washington, DC 20548 of the United States DecisionDOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE The decision issued on the date below was subject to a GAO Protective Order. The entire decision has now been approved for public release. Matter of: SimVentions, Inc. File: B-420967; B-420967.2 Date: November 21, 2022 James J. McCullough, Esq., Michael J. Anstett, Esq., and Jennifer Prescott, Esq., Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson LLP, for the protester. Kevin P. Connelly, Esq., Kelly E. Buroker, Esq., Jeffrey M. Lowry, Esq., and Tamara Droubi, Esq., Vedder Price PC, for Peraton, Inc., the intervenor. Nikki R. Musick, Esq., Department of the Navy, for the agency. Glenn G. Wolcott, Esq., and Christina Sklarew, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest is denied where agency's assessment of multiple weaknesses, deficiencies, and associated risks provided a reasonable basis, consistent with the terms of the solicitation, for the agency's determination that protester's proposal was technically unacceptable and, therefore, ineligible for award. 2. Protester's speculation regarding the content of the awardee's proposal, and the agency's evaluation thereof, fails to comply with requirement that protest grounds be factually and legally sufficient. DECISION SimVentions, Inc., of Fredericksburg, Virginia, protests the Department of the Navy's issuance of a task order to Peraton, Inc., pursuant to request for proposals (RFP) No. N001 7822R3004, to provide cybersecurity engineering support services for Naval Surface Warfare Center activities in Virginia. SimVentions challenges various aspects of the agency's source selection process, including the agency's determination that SimVentions' proposal was technically unacceptable.1 1 SimVentions filed its initial protest on August 15, 2022, and filed a supplemental protest on August 19 that incorporated all of its initial protest allegations. Accordingly, our citations to the protest refer to the August 19 supplemental protest.
