Prism maintains that the agency misevaluated proposals, engaged in improper discussions with Valkyrie, and made an unreasonable source selection decision. N00024-13-R-3038 for alteration installation team support and asset staging services in Port Hueneme, California and several other locations. Prism Maritime, LLC, of Chesapeake, Virginia, protests the issuance of a task order to Valkyrie Enterprises, LLC, of Virginia Beach, Virginia, by the Department of the Navy under request for proposals (RFP) No. Protest challenging agency’s cost realism evaluation is sustained where evaluation failed adequately to consider the realism of the offerors’ proposed costs, and record further shows that, in any event, agency improperly used the offerors’ proposed-as opposed to evaluated-costs in making its source selection decision. Protest is sustained where record shows that agency’s source selection authority essentially disagreed with all of the negative findings of the agency’s evaluators concerning awardee’s proposal, but the record does not support a conclusion that his disagreement, which does not withstand logical scrutiny, was reasonable.Ģ. Scott H. Riback, Esq., and Tania Calhoun, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.ġ.
