Matter of:  ACTA, LLC

File:       B-418352; B-418352.2

Date:       March 17, 2020

& Foerster LLP, for the protester.
Tod D. Stephens, Esq., Armstrong Teasdale LLP, for UNCOMN, LLC, the intervenor.

Force, and Kenneth M. Roth, Esq., A.J. Koudelka, Esq., and Robert J. Depke, Esq.,

Mary G. Curcio, Esq., and Laura Eyester, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO,

DIGEST

1. Protest that agency unreasonably evaluated protester's price as unrealistic is denied
where the majority of the protester's proposed labor rates were substantially below the
prices proposed by other offerors, the government estimate, and the rates under the
incumbent contract.

2. Protester is not an interested party to challenge the evaluation of its technical
proposal, or the awardee's past performance, where agency reasonably rejected
protester for unrealistic pricing and protester does not allege that awardee should be
evaluated as unacceptable under the non-price factors.
DECISION

ACTA, LLC, of Torrance, California, protests the award of a contract to UNCOMN, LLC,
of Scott Air Force Base, Illinois, under request for proposals (RFP) No.
HTC71119RD007, issued by the Department of the Air Force for enterprise architecture,
enterprise data management, and information technology engineering services. ACTA
asserts that the agency unreasonably concluded that ACTA submitted an unrealistic
price proposal. ACTA also challenges the agency's evaluation of ACTA's technical
proposal and UNCOMN's past performance.


We deny the protest.
