Wong, Esq., Lee, Kim, Wong, Yee & Lau, for the protester. Marjorie A. Stender, Esq., Luce, Forward, Hamilton & Scripps, for Dewitt Transportation Services of Guam, an intervenor. Elizabeth Rivera, Esq., Department of the Navy, for the agency. Guy R. Pietrovito, Esq., and James A. Spangenberg, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST In a negotiated procurement which provided for a reverse auction, an agency reasonably determined to request revised price proposals after the end of the auction, in response to a protest which raised reasonable concerns that there were errors in the conduct of the reverse auction. DECISION Pacific Island Movers protests the agency's decision to obtain revised proposals under request for proposals (RFP) No. N00604-01-R-A06, issued by the Department of the Navy, for packing and crating services. Pacific contends that it was entitled to award on the basis of its low price under a reverse auction conducted by the agency prior to the request for revised proposals. We deny the protest. The RFP, issued as a total small business set-aside under the commercial item acquisition procedures of Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 12, provided for the award of a fixed-price, requirements contract to perform packing and crating services on Guam for a 6-month base period with 4 option years. The RFP contained 173 contract line items (CLIN), each of which stated an estimated quantity of services. The RFP also listed an EST MIN AMOUNT, presumably meaning an estimated minimum amount, for each CLIN.
