This redacted version has been approved for public release. Decision Matter of: Palm Beach Aviation, Inc. File: B-401450; B-401450.2; B-401516 Date: August 28, 2009 Ronald H. Uscher, Esq., and Robert D. Banfield, Esq., Peckar & Abramson, P.C., for the protester. Damon M. Semmens, Esq., and Emanuel N. Anton, Esq., Anton Law Group, for Rampart Aviation, Inc., an intervenor. Maj. Charlotte M. Emery, and Cpt. T Kathryn E. Waits, Department of the Army, for the agency. Linda C. Glass, Esq., and Ralph 0. White, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest alleging that awardee's proposal for aircraft and pilot to support military parachute training was unacceptable is denied where record shows that awardee's proposal was reasonably evaluated by the agency as meeting the solicitation's requirements; aircraft certification requirements, which were not preconditions to award, could properly be addressed as a matter of contract administration. 2. Protest that agency's price evaluation was not consistent with the solicitation is denied where record supports the evaluation as reasonable and consistent. 3. Protest that oral solicitation failed to state how quotations were to be evaluated filed after issuance of purchase order is dismissed as untimely. DECISION Palm Beach Aviation, Inc. (PBA) of West Palm Beach, Florida, protests the award of a contract to Rampart Aviation, Inc. of Franklinton, North Carolina, under request for proposals (RFP) No. H92236-09-R-4001, issued by the U.S. Special Operations Command Regional Contracting Office Fort Bragg (USSOCOM) for an aircraft and pilot to support military parachute training for military personnel at Pinal Air Park, Marana, Arizona. PBA contends that Rampart's proposal should have been rejected as technically unacceptable and that the agency's price evaluation was inconsistent with the solicitation requirement.
