Comptroller General Washington, DC 20548 of the United States ....................................................................................................................... DOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE The decision issued on the date below was subject to Decision a GAO Protective Order. This redacted version has been approved for public release. Matter of: Global Language Center File: B-413503.8 Date: June 1, 2017 Devon E. Hewitt, Esq., and Michael E. Stamp, Esq., Protorae Law PLLC, for the protester. Lawrence P. Block, Esq., and Elizabeth G. Leavy, Esq., Reed Smith LLP, for Salient CRGT, Inc., the intervenor. Tudo N. Pham, Esq., Department of State, for the agency. Charmaine A. Stevenson, Esq., and Laura Eyester, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest that agency improperly engaged in post-final proposal revision (post-FPR) discussions only with awardee when it allowed the awardee to submit pricing for travel is sustained where record shows that post-FPR exchange resulted in material changes to awardee's proposal. 2. Protest challenging an agency's evaluation of past performance is sustained where the agency failed to adequately document its evaluation and where the agency credited the awardee for positive performance without considering the relevance of the performance, while failing to credit the protester for relevant performance under its incumbent contract. 3. Protest that agency failed to perform price realism analysis is denied where the record reflects that the agency evaluated prices in accordance with the solicitation. DECISION Global Language Translation, Inc., doing business as Global Language Center (Global), of Arlington, Virginia, protests the award of a contract to Salient CRGT, Inc., of Fairfax, Virginia, by the Department of State (DOS) under request for proposals (RFP) No. SFSIAQ16ROO01, for foreign language instruction, testing services, and curriculum development.
