Comptroller General Washington, DC 20548 of the United States Decision DOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE The decision issued on the date below was subject to a GAO Protective Order. This redacted version has been approved for public release. M atte r o f: C e nte rra G ro u p , L LC--------------------------------------------------------- File: B-414768; B-414768.2 Date: September 11, 2017 Craig S. King, Esq., Richard J. Webber, Esq., and Patrick R. Quigley, Esq., Arent Fox LLP, for the protester. Paul A. Debolt, Esq., Michael T. Francel, Esq., Jengeih S. Tamba, Esq., and James Y. Boland, Esq., Venable, LLP, for Kellogg Brown & Root Services, Inc., the intervenor. Kyle D. Murray, Esq., Department of the Navy, for the agency. Alexander 0. Levine, Esq., and Jennifer D. Westfall-McGrail, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest alleging that unclear solicitation requirements led offerors to propose pricing on an unequal basis is denied where the protester does not demonstrate that differences in the offerors' approaches stemmed from unclear solicitation requirements. 2. Protest that agency should have assigned protester's proposal additional strengths and a higher technical rating reflects the protester's disagreement with the agency's evaluation judgment, and provides no basis for sustaining the protest. 3. Protester is not an interested party to challenge agency's evaluation of awardee's staffing where protester would not be in line for award if its protest were to be sustained. DECISION Centerra Group, LLC, of Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, challenges the award of a contract to Kellogg Brown & Root Services, Inc. (KBR), of Houston, Texas, under request for proposals (RFP) No. N62470-15-R-4006, issued by the United States Navy, Naval Facilities Engineering Command, Atlantic, for base operations support services at the Naval Support Activity in Bahrain. The protester asserts that the agency failed to evaluate prices on a common basis, failed to conduct meaningful discussions, and conducted a flawed technical evaluation of Centerra's and KBR's proposals. We deny the protest in part and dismiss it in part.
