Request for Additional Discounts After Award Not Prejudicial to Protester’s Ability to Compete; GAO B-414244, AllWorld Language Consultants Inc.
Protest challenging the evaluation of the awardee’s teaming agreement with its proposed subcontractor is denied, where the requested a binding agreement between the parties, but did not require a formal subcontract to be signed prior to the submission of quotations; and protest challenging the agency’s technical evaluation is denied, where the RFQ did not required vendors to demonstrate that each member of the prime/subcontract team was able to independently meet every requirement of the solicitation; and protest challenging the agency’s price realism evaluation is denied, where the agency was not required to compare a subcontractor’s pricing for a different special item number under a different contract to the proposed pricing for the requirement; and protest challenging the agency’s request for additional price reductions from only the awardee is denied, where the vendor’s quotation had already been selected for award and therefore there was no prejudice to the protester.
