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: Journey Aviation LLC File: B-419368.2; B-419368.3 Date: June 2, 2021 David R. Warner, Esq., Tyler J. Freiberger, Esq., and Heather B. Mims, Esq., Centre Law & Consulting LLC, for the protester. Katherine B. Burrows, Esq., Lauren Brier, Esq., Samuel S. Finnerty, Esq., and Timothy F. Valley, Esq., Piliero Mazza PLLC, for Tenax Aerospace, Holdings, LLC, the intervenor. Michael Giordano, Esq., Department of Justice, for the agency. Sarah T. Zaffina, Esq., and Jennifer D. Westfall-McGrail, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protester's proposal was reasonably assessed a deficiency by the agency, where the proposal included a general statement of compliance with solicitation requirements and the agency reasonably determined this was not sufficient to demonstrate the protester's ability to meet a specific material requirement. DECISION Journey Aviation LLC (Journey), a small business, of Boca Raton, Florida, protests the award of a contract to Tenax Aerospace Holdings, LLC (Tenax), a small business, of Madison, Mississippi, under request for proposals (RFP) No. 15F067-20-R-0000051, issued by the Department of Justice (DOJ), Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), for the lease of an ultra-long-range aircraft to provide rapid response transportation for DOJ personnel world-wide. Journey argues that the award to Tenax was improper because the agency's evaluation of proposals was unreasonable. We deny the protest. BACKGROUND The FBI issued the RFP on April 22, 2020, as a total small business set-aside under Federal Acquisition Regulation parts 12 and 15 procedures. The agency seeks to lease a dedicated aircraft that will transport DOJ personnel around the world in support of counterterrorism and other FBI investigations. Agency Report (AR), Tab 4, RFP at 1;
