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: Facility Healthcare Services, Inc. File: B-418743.2; B-418743.3 Date: September 2, 2021 William Weisberg, Esq., Law Offices of William Weisberg, for the protester. John R. Prairie, Esq., George E. Petel, Esq., and Adam Briscoe, Esq., Wiley Rein LLP, for Peak Facility Solutions, LLC, the intervenor. Jonathan S. Baker, Esq., Department of Commerce, for the agency. Raymond Richards, Esq., and John Sorrenti, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest challenging the adequacy of discussions involving price is denied where the agency informed the protester that its price was significantly higher than the independent government cost estimate, and pointed the protester to the exact contract line item prices requiring revision. 2. Protester is not an interested party to challenge the agency's evaluation of the awardee's proposal or the agency's source selection decision where the agency reasonably determined that the protester's proposed price was unreasonably high, effectively rendering the protester's proposal unawardable, and there were eligible intervening offerors whose proposals were unchallenged. DECISION Facility Healthcare Services, Inc. (Facility), a small business of Brighton, Colorado, protests the award of a contract to Peak Facility Solutions, LLC (Peak), a small business of Conifer, Colorado, under request for proposals (RFP) No. 1333ND20RNB190010, issued by the Department of Commerce, National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), for facilities maintenance and operations services. The protester challenges the adequacy of discussions conducted by the agency, the agency's evaluation of proposals, and the source selection decision. We deny the protest.
