Poorly-Written Proposal Failed to Demonstrate Solution Met the Requirements; GAO B-414548, SMS Data Products Group Inc.

Protest challenging agency’s technical evaluation is denied, where the protester’s initial proposal provided little information about its solution and its response to discussion questions merely repeated the objective without demonstrating the solution met the requirements; and protest alleging the agency’s discussions were not meaningful is denied, where the protester’s initial proposal lacked the level of detail that would have allowed the agency to identify specific deficiencies, where the agency pointed out some problem areas more than once, and where the protester’s first and second proposal revisions did not cure all the deficiencies and introduced new defects.
