Comptroller General Washington, DC 20548 of the United States DOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE The decision issued on the date below was subject to a GAO Protective Order. This redacted version has been approved for public release. Decision Matter of: BAE Systems Norfolk Ship Repair, Inc. File: B-420065 Date: November 19, 2021 Mark D. Colley, Esq., Stuart W. Turner, Esq., and Anna L. Dykema, Esq., Arnold & Porter Kaye Scholer LLP, for the protester. Rhonda L. Russ, Esq., and Candace M. Shields, Esq., Department of the Navy, for the agency. Alexander O. Levine, Esq., and Jennifer D. Westfall-McGrail, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest alleging that solicitation fails to provide sufficient information for offerors to compete intelligently and on a common basis is denied where the solicitation provides sufficient information for offerors to price the risks inherent in the agency's uncertain growth work requirements. 2. Protest alleging that solicitation improperly deviates from mandatory contract clauses is denied where the challenged term does not contravene the clauses. DECISION BAE Systems Norfolk Ship Repair, Inc., of Norfolk, Virginia, protests the terms of request for proposals (RFP) No. N00024-21-R-4490, issued by the Department of the Navy for ship repair services for the USS IWO JIMA and the USS MITSCHER. The protester argues that the solicitation does not provide sufficient information regarding what the Navy terms growth work requirements, i.e., additional repair work that will be identified and defined during the course of contract performance. BAE argues that this information is needed to enable offerors to intelligently price the work, and also asserts that the growth work terms improperly deviate from mandatory contract clauses. We deny the protest.
