Matter of: Vectrus Systems Corporation File: B-412306.2; B-412306.3 Date: January 6, 2017 Kevin P. Connelly, Esq., Kelly E. Buroker, Esq., Marques 0. Peterson, Esq., and Kirsten W. Konar, Esq., Vedder Price, P.C., for the protester. Michael G. McCormack, Esq., Col. C. Taylor Smith, and Beatrice K. Foster, Esq., Department of the Air Force, for the agency. Glenn G. Wolcott, Esq., and Christina Sklarew, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Agency reasonably evaluated protester's proposal as technically unacceptable on the basis of the agency's determination that protester's approach to performing the solicitation's munitions requirements did not demonstrate an acceptable understanding of those requirements. 2. Agency conducted meaningful discussions with protester where agency repeatedly led protester into the areas of its proposal that needed to be addressed in order for the proposal to be evaluated as technically acceptable. 3. Agency's most probable cost adjustment to protester's proposed cost/price does not provide a basis to sustain the protest where agency reasonably concluded that protester's proposal was technically unacceptable. DECISION Vectrus Systems Corporation, of Colorado Springs, Colorado, protests the Department of the Air Force's elimination of Vectrus's proposal from consideration for award under request for proposals (RFP) No. FA4890-15-R-0004 to provide support for the Air Force's pre-positioned war reserve material (WRM) program. Vectrus protests that the agency's technical evaluation was unreasonable; that the agency failed to conduct meaningful discussions; and that the agency's most probable cost adjustment to Vectrus's proposed cost/price was improper. We deny the protest.
