Comptroller
General - Key Excerpts |
The record establishes that the
in-house estimate was approved and sealed prior to the time when
the agency received Symvionics's proposal. Further, while
the MP/MEO was not sealed, it was approved on May 5, prior to
receipt of the Symvionics proposal.
Copies of this MP/MEO were kept
in locked drawers by the IRO and Mr. B, the cost analyst, on and
after May 5 and were not removed until after the cost comparison
was made on May 27. There is no evidence that the estimated cost
or MP/MEO were changed in any substantive way from May 5 through
May 27. The only substantive changes were made during the review
process and pursuant to the recommendations of the AAP and did
not incorporate any information from the protester's
proposal.[4] Thus, it is clear from the record Symvionics was
not prejudiced by the agency's failure to follow this procedural
requirement. (Symvionics,
