handle is hein.gao/gaobadowe0001 and id is 1 raw text is: G A O0 Comptroller General Accountability * Integrity * Reliability of the United States United States Government Accountability Office Washington, DC 20548 Decision Matter of: Rocamar Engineering Services, Inc. File: B-406514 Date: June 20, 2012 Frank V. Reilly, Esq., Kelley, Kronenberg, Gilmartin, Fichtel, Wander, Bamdas, Eskalyo & Dunbrack, P.A., for the protester. Dennis J. Gallagher, Esq., Department of State, for the agency. Charles W. Morrow, Esq., and James A. Spangenberg, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest against the rejection of the protestor's proposal of a modular bastion wall defense system for failing a fire/burn test conducted by the agency is sustained where the record shows that the test was unfair and unreasonable. DECISION Rocamar Engineering Services, Inc., of Delray Beach, Florida, protests the rejection of its proposal under request for proposals (RFP) No. S-WHARC-1 0-R-0007, issued by the United States Department of State (DOS), for modular bastion wall defense systems. Rocamar challenges the propriety of a second fire/burn test that was conducted by the agency on its system, which resulted in the rejection of its proposal. We sustain the protest. The RFP, issued on July 23, 2010, sought pre-fabricated modular bastion wall defense systems for various Columbian Army and Police bases. These requirements were to be fulfilled under an indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract, under which fixed-price task orders would be issued for specific base projects. The State Department estimates the value of this contract at between $750,000 and $1.25 million per year. The RFP specifications provided that the bastion wall defense system were required to meet certain minimum force protection standards and provided for the testing of the proposed systems to determine whether they were acceptable.
