handle is hein.gao/gaobaecfc0001 and id is 1 raw text is: GAO U.S. GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABILITY OFFICE 441 G St. N.W. 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: TriStar Aerospace LLC File: B-419093 Date: December 11, 2020 Stephen R. Snodgrass, Esq., and Charles A. Weiss, Esq., Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner LLP, for the protester. Travis D. Van Ort, Esq., Kristina M. Hogan, Esq., Thomas J. Florip, Esq., and Stephanie A. Polk, Esq., Department of the Navy, for the agency. Kenneth Kilgour, Esq., and Jennifer D. Westfall-McGrail, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest that the agency unreasonably rejected the protester's proposal as late is denied where the record shows that, although a portion of the proposal was received on time, information necessary for the agency to evaluate the proposal was submitted late; the agency's rejection of the proposal was thus reasonable. DECISION TriStar Aerospace LLC, of Brunswick, Maine, protests the determination of the Department of the Navy, Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division, that its proposal was late and therefore ineligible for consideration under request for proposals (RFP) No. N0042120R0094 for air-to-air refueling services. The protester contends that it submitted its proposal on time, and a late filing by its proposed subcontractor should not have rendered TriStar's entire proposal late. We deny the protest. BACKGROUND The Department of the Navy's fleet and other customers require air-to-air refueling services for multiple aircraft types. This acquisition, in support of the Naval Air Systems Command Contracted Air Service Program, was to provide contractor owned, operated, and maintained aerial refueling aircraft, personnel, and equipment to satisfy fleet training, operational, test and evaluation, and foreign military sales requirements.
