Comptroller General Washington, DC 20548 of the United States 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: ICU Medical, Inc. File: B-422151; B-422151.2; B-422151.3 Date: January 4, 2024 Merle M. DeLancey, Esq., and Michael J. Slattery, Esq., Blank Rome LLP, for the protester. William A. Shook, Esq., The Law Offices of William A. Shook PLLC, for CareFusion Solutions, LLC, the intervenor. Erika Whelan Retta, Esq., Colonel Patricia S. Wiegman-Lenz, Major Ryan P. Payne, Major Craig M. Brunson, and Major Zachary T. Thurber, Department of the Air Force, for the agency. Todd C. Culliton, Esq., and Tania Calhoun, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest that the agency unreasonably described the services to be procured as part of a simplified acquisition conducted on a sole-source basis is denied where the record does not show that the agency inaccurately described the services. 2. Protest that the agency improperly made the price reasonableness determination is denied where the record shows that the agency reasonably compared the quoted price against the independent government estimate and the historical price paid for the service. DECISION ICU Medical, Inc., of San Clemente, California, protests the award of a contract issued on a sole-source basis to CareFusion Solutions, LLC, of San Diego, California, under request for quotations (RFQ) No. FA442723-Q-0076, issued by the Department of the Air Force for infusion pump software maintenance services. ICU argues that the Air Force unreasonably issued the contract on a sole-source basis because it erroneously concluded that only CareFusion can provide the requisite services and failed to determine that the awarded contract price was fair and reasonable. We deny the protest.
