Protest Spotlight

(This regular feature highlights protests decided by the Government Accountability Office.)

Agency: Army

Protester: Strategic Resources Inc.

What GAO found: SRI protested the exclusion of its proposal from the competitive range in a bid to provide the Army logistics support services for the Army Prepositioned Stocks-3 Charleston Afloat program.

The Army evaluated SRI's proposal as noncompliant because its total estimated dollar value on one attachment did not match its total proposed price on another -- a solicitation requirement. SRI argued its price was consistent, but GAO denied the protest.
