Decision, Matter of: Curtin Maritime Corporation
Abstract
Protest alleging that the domestic shipyard preference set forth in Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) provision 252.247-7026 requires the agency to afford a preference to offerors that exclusively use domestic shipyards to perform overhaul, repair, and maintenance for qualifying vessels is denied where the plain language of the DFARS provision and its enabling legislation require only that an agency consider, as one of many evaluation factors, the extent to which an offer or has performed such work in domestic shipyards. Curtin Maritime Corporation, a small business concern of Long Beach, California, protests the terms of request for proposals (RFP) No. N32205-19-R-3300, issued by the Department of the Navy, Military Sealift Command (MSC), for a U.S. flag tug vessel. The protester contends that the solicitation's evaluation criteria violate the domestic shipyard preference set forth in Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) provision 252.247-7026.
