Christina Sklarew, Esq., and Guy R. Pietrovito, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST In a negotiated procurement that provided for the evaluation on a pass/fail basis of the offeror's ability to prepare task order proposals, the protester's failure to complete the required demonstration project is not a minor error that can be waived or clarified. DECISION JBlanco Enterprises, Inc., of Denver, Colorado, protests the rejection of its proposal under request for proposals (RFP) No. FA7000-10-R-00 17, issued by the Department of the Air Force for the repair and replacement of roofs at the United States Air Force Academy. We deny the protest. BACKGROUND The RFP, which was set aside for eligible section 8(a) firms, provided for the award of a fixed-price, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (ID/IQ) contract for a base and 4 option years. Offerors were informed that award would be made to a technically acceptable offeror on the basis of a past performance-price tradeoff. The past performance factor was stated to be significantly more important than price. RFP at 67. The RFP also stated that the agency did not intend to conduct discussions or provide offerors with an opportunity for proposal revisions. Id. at 71.
