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: Professional Analysis, Inc. File: B-422226.4; B-422226.5 Date: November 4, 2024 Thomas K. David, Esq., Katherine A. David, Esq., and Lewis P. Rhodes, Esq., Reston Law Group, LLP, for the protester. Robert K. Tompkins, Esq., Hillary J. Freund, Esq., Kelsey M. Hayes, Esq., and Richard J. Ariel, Esq., Holland & Knight, LLP, for CACI, Inc.-Federal, the intervenor. John E. Toner, Esq., Johanna E. Crawford, Esq., and T. Alexander Cloud, Jr., Esq., Department of the Navy, for the agency. Charmaine A. Stevenson, Esq., and John Sorrenti, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest allegations are dismissed where the protester withdrew and abandoned its initial arguments and instead raised new untimely arguments. 2. Protest that the awardee's proposal improperly took exception to the solicitation requirements is denied where the agency reasonably determined that the awardee's assumptions were not exceptions, and where proposal language in question reflects the reservation of a right to request, rather than receive, a price adjustment. DECISION Professional Analysis, Inc. (PAl), a small business of Alexandria, Virginia, protests the award of a contract to CACI, Inc.-Federal, of Chantilly, Virginia, under request for proposals (RFP) No. N3220523R4140, issued by the Department of the Navy, Military Sealift Command (MSC), for worldwide logistics services. The protester contends that the agency should have found the awardee's proposal to be technically unacceptable because it failed to revise its technical proposal although it drastically reduced its price in its final proposal revision, that the agency failed to perform a price realism evaluation, and that the awardee failed to certify that its price was without reservation, assumption, or qualification as required by the solicitation. We dismiss in part and deny in part the protest.
