A decision document detailing the recent denial decision for this requirement has been released publicly.

HEALTHREV, LLC, Plaintiff,
v.
THE UNITED STATES, Defendant, and ANSIBLE GOVERNMENT SOLUTIONS, LLC, Defendant-Intervenor.

Plaintiff HealthRev, LLC (“HealthRev”), a Mentor-Protégé Joint Venture (“MPJV”) between protégé eRevs Supply Chain (“eRevs”) and mentor DLH Solutions, Inc. (“DLH”), brings this bid protest against the United States. Compl., ECF No. 1. The solicitation at issue involves a contract for pharmacist, pharmacist-technician, and shipper/packer services for the Department of Veterans Affairs’ (“VA”) pharmacy system. HealthRev claims that the VA improperly evaluated its proposal by 1) using the same evaluation standards as those used when evaluating other non-MPJV offerors in violation of 13 C.F.R. § 125.8(e); and 2) unreasonably applying unstated evaluation criteria and subjecting Plaintiff to disparate treatment.

Pending before this Court are the parties’ cross-motions for Judgment on the Administrative Record. Pl.’s Mot. for J. on the Admin. R. (“Pl.’s Mot.”), ECF No. 28; Def.’s Cross-Mot. for J. on the Admin. R. (“Def.’s Mot.”), ECF No. 33; Def.-Intervenor’s Cross-Mot. for J. on the Admin. R. (“Def.-Intervenor’s Mot.”), ECF No. 32. For the reasons below, Plaintiff’s Motion for Judgment on the Administrative Record is DENIED. Defendant and Defendant-Intervenor’s Cross-Motions for Judgment on the Administrative Record are GRANTED…

On the heels of a series of GAO protests being levied and withdrawn comes word that a subsequent protest filed with the Court of Federal Claims by SDVOSB JV HealthRev, challenging the award of a singular Veterans Affairs CMOP Staffing contract, has been denied.

This requirement is understood to have been one in a series of staffing contracts expected to be awarded in support of different VA facilities. The protests were levied after the agency announced plans to sole source contracts to several SDVOSB Prime awardees to support a range of facilities. Details related to the grounds for the protest are under seal. It is unclear how and if this decision will impact this and the other requirements.

More will be shared as it is made available.
