         Matter of:  Bowhead Science and Technology, LLC

         File:       B-409871

         Date:       August 26, 2014

         Jon M. DeVore, Esq., Adam W. Cook, Esq., Carissa D. Siebeneck, Esq., and
         Melinda M. Meyers, Esq., Birch, Horton, Bittner and Cherot, PC, for the protester.
         Alex D. Tomaszczuk, Esq., and Alexander B. Ginsberg, Esq., Pillsbury Winthrop
         Shaw Pittman LLP, for Imagine One Technology & Management, Ltd., the
         intervenor.
         Stephanie J. Quade, Esq., and Theresa M. Francis, Esq., Department of the Navy,
         for the agency.
         Heather Weiner, Esq., and Jonathan L. Kang, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
         GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
         DIGEST

         Protest challenging the agency's evaluation of the protester's proposal under the
         past performance factor and cost/price factor is denied where the information the
         protester claims the agency should have considered under both factors was not
         presented or referenced by the protester; the agency had no obligation to seek out
         and favorably consider information the protester could have, but did not include in
         its proposal.
         DECISION

         Bowhead Science and Technology, LLC,1 of Alexandria, Virginia, protests the
         issuance of a task order to Imagine One Technology & Management, Ltd., of
         Colonial Beach, Virginia, under request for proposals (RFP) No. N00024-13-R-
         3149, by the Department of the Navy, for program management support services for
         the V-22 Joint Program Office. Bowhead argues that the agency unreasonably and
         disparately evaluated Bowhead's and the awardee's past performance, and
         challenges the Navy's evaluation of its cost proposal.

         1 References herein to Bowhead are to Bowhead Science and Technology, LLC.
         As discussed below, this protest also concerned other corporate affiliates of
         Bowhead, which are identified by their full names.
