Date:     October 15, 2021

DIGEST
1. Agency reasonably assessed a significant weakness in protester's technical
proposal with regard to protester's proposed performance of maintenance requirements.
2. In conducting discussions, the agency was not required to advise protester that its
price was substantially higher than that of its competitors where protester's price was
not considered to be unreasonably high.
3. Agency's evaluation of offerors' proposed prices was reasonable and consistent with
the terms of the solicitation.
4. Where agency properly evaluated protester's proposal, conducted meaningful
discussions, and properly applied the solicitation's terms in evaluating offerors' prices,
protester is not an interested party to further challenge the agency's source selection
process because it is not next in line for award.
DECISION
SOC LLC, of Chantilly, Virginia, protests the Department of the Army's award of a
contract to DynCorp International, LLC, of Fort Worth, Texas, pursuant to request for
proposals (RFP) No. W52P1J-19-R-0069, to perform operation and maintenance
