Matter of: West Sound Services Group, LLC File: B-406583.2; B-406583.3 Date: July 3, 2013 Adam K. Lasky, Esq., James F. Nagle, Esq., and Brandon D. Young, Esq., Oles Morrison Rinker & Baker LLP, for the protester. James N. McCormick, Department of the Navy, for the agency. Nora K. Adkins, Esq., and Jonathan L. Kang, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest that the agency failed to afford the protester meaningful discussions is sustained where the agency did not convey its actual concerns to the protester in a manner that would have enabled the protester to meaningfully respond to the evaluated significant weaknesses in its proposal. 2. Protest challenging the agency's evaluation of the protester's non-price proposal is sustained where the record does not contain adequate supporting rationale to demonstrate that it properly considered information provided by the protester in its revised proposal. DECISION West Sound Services Group, LLC,1 of Austin, Texas, protests the exclusion of its proposal from the competitive range under request for proposals (RFP) No. N44255-10-R-5016, issued by the Department of the Navy, Naval Facilities Engineering Command, for base operations support services at various locations throughout the Northwest United States. The protester contends that the agency failed to conduct meaningful discussions, unreasonably evaluated its proposal, and improperly excluded it from the competitive range. 1 West is a joint venture of J&J Worldwide Services and EMCOR Government Services.
