Heading: Agile’s Bid Protest

Text: Agile filed a protest in the Court of Federal Claims on October 18, 2018. A. 19. It argued that DISA violated the terms of the solicitation by expanding “its cost realism analysis to all labor rates in Agile’s [FPR], regardless of whether they were more than one standard deviation below the average.” Federal Claims Decision, 143 Fed. Cl. at 17 (citation and internal quotation marks omitted). The Court of Federal Claims rejected this argument, however, concluding that it was “clear from the Solicitation that the Agency did not limit itself to only performing cost realism analysis on labor rates that were more than one standard deviation below the average.” Id. at 18. The court determined, moreover, that “the only limitation within the Solicitation regarding cost realism analysis was the requirement that the Agency perform cost realism analysis on CR labor rates that were more than one standard deviation below the average.” Id. Agile then filed a timely appeal with this court. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1295(a)(3).
