Constellis Triple Canopy, the logistical and protective support services provider, was chosen by Baghdad's Embassy. Gonzales said that while the agency claimed the price proposed by the company was too high and did not address it, Gonzales also stated that the agency had no explanation for its role as joint venture partner in the existing contract. Constellis Triple Canopy’s retention program significantly improved the proposal.
Gonzales argues that the agency failed to discuss its role as a joint venture partner on the incumbent contract
Gonzales claims that the agency did insufficiently discuss its role and failed to properly evaluate the performance of its partners. Triple Canopy, however, argues that the discussions took place and were tailored to each offeror's evaluation. The agency did not violate any contract provision, or a statute. Gonzales also claims that the agency's past performance was comparable to Triple Canopy's on the incumbent contract.
Protester also claims that the agency's assessment was incorrectly flawed as it relied upon a flawed technical evaluation. The agency did not properly document Gonzales's performance and failed to discuss its role in the joint venture partnership on the incumbent contract. It asserts that the selection decision was rational and justified.
Gonzales argues that the agency advised Triple Canopy that its price was too high
Gonzales claims that the agency did in fact fail to recognize the risks associated its price, and instead erroneously attributed disparate treatments to the company. Gonzales claims that bonuses were paid to employees by the agency and not to their own. Gonzales claims that the agency advised him about his high price, but Triple Canopy asserts that it received different treatment from its employees.
The contracting office was not required by law to mention past performance issues during negotiations. Gonzales argues that the agency advised Triple Canopy that its price was too high because it failed to consider Centerra's role as a 70 percent joint venture partner. The contracting officer wasn't required to discuss past performance issues in discussions. To improve the understanding, however, the agency provided information.
Constellis Triple Canopy's revised retention plan significantly improved its proposal
The agency received 4 proposals before the deadline, set a competitive range, met with 3 of them (Gonzales, Triple Canopy, or an unnamed other offeror), and then held discussions. Throughout these discussions the agency did nothing to alter its ratings. Triple Canopy conducted a debriefing, but did not protest the protest. The agency didn't make a decision on whether Triple Canopy’s revised retention plan had significantly improved its proposal.
The company identified three contracts that were exemplary for its past performance. Triple Canopy controlled 70% of the company in a joint venture with FPS. Another contract was made with the Department of Energy. These three examples were identified in the revised retention plan and it significantly improved its proposal. The revised proposal provided additional details and a firm commitment to bonuses. Triple Canopy’s revised retention plan was a significant improvement on its original proposal.

How To
How to hunt wild ducks
The most common way to hunt wild ducks is to use decoys. Decoys can be used to hunt wild ducks. You should place the birds at a distance from your blind in order to view them from far away. Avoid hunting in windsy conditions, as the birds will flee very quickly. Also, if there are several hunters around, they might scare off some of the birds.
Know how many birds you want when hunting wild ducks. Don't shoot if it isn't clear what type of bird they are. Make sure you have enough ammunition to take down whatever number of birds you want.
If you do end up killing a lot of birds, you'll want to clean and prepare the meat before eating. It's best to cook the meat right away because it dries out very fast once you start cooking it. Once the meat is cooked remove all bones and feathers.
Wild ducks are most often found near water. But, sometimes, you can see them flying through fields or woods. They fly low to the ground which makes them easier targets. If you're hunting wild ducks, it is important to remain hidden until you are close enough that you can make a shot. It means that you should remain quiet while waiting to get a shot.
