You should not care. Category: Source selection Date of protest: August 9, 2024 URL: https://www.gao.gov/products/b-422553.2
This protest was denied primarily because the GAO found no competitive prejudice against the protester, MCI. The agency followed the established solicitation procedures, and the grounds for challenge did not demonstrate a violation of procurement law. As such, the decision reaffirms the principle that GAO defers to agency evaluations in accordance with its stated criteria.
Digest
1. Protest that the solicitation relied on inaccurate historical data for testing quantity and type that would result in a misleading price evaluation is dismissed where the agency's planned corrective action renders that allegation moot.
2. Protest that the solicitation's tiered evaluation scheme is improper is denied where, even if the terms are improper, the record does not support a finding that the protester suffered competitive prejudice.
