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: Shearwater Mission Support, LLC File: B-416717 Date: November 20, 2018 Keith R. Szeliga, Esq., Adam A. Bartolanzo, Esq., and Shaunna E. Bailey, Esq., Sheppard, Mullin, Richter & Hampton LLP; and William K. Walker, Esq., Walker Reausaw, for the protester. Adam K. Lasky, Esq., David Y. Yang, Esq., and Michael J. Schmidt, Esq., Oles Morrison Rinker & Baker, LLP, for KJS Support Services Joint Venture, LLC, the intervenor. Deana Jaeger, Esq., Department of the Navy, for the agency. John Sorrenti, Esq., and Christina Sklarew, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest alleging that the agency engaged in misleading discussions is sustained where the agency's discussion questions were based on the results of a price realism analysis that was inconsistent with the solicitation, which allowed only a price reasonableness evaluation. DECISION Shearwater Mission Support, LLC (Shearwater) of Anchorage, Alaska, protests the award of a contract to KJS Support Services Joint Venture, LLC (KJS), of Fort Worth, Texas, under request for proposals (RFP) No. N62473-17-R-3807, issued by the Department of the Navy, Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) for base operating support services at the Naval Air Facility (NAF) in El Centro, California. Shearwater protests that the agency engaged in misleading discussions, in part because the discussions relied upon the agency's improper price realism analysis. The protester also challenges various aspects of NAVFAC's evaluation of both Shearwater's and KJS's proposals. We sustain the protest.
