1. Agency reasonably classified painting work as covered by the Service Contract Act rather than the Davis-Bacon Act, where vast majority of painting work was to be performed in conjunction with change of occupancy maintenance services for military housing, rather than as part of construction projects.<p/>2. Protest challenging rejection of proposal for failure to comply with Service Contract Act (SCA) wage rate is denied where, even if protester were correct that agency should have held discussions rather than reject the proposal--because solicitation was confusing as to whether SCA or Davis-Bacon Act wages applied--protester's late best and final offer based on SCA wages shows that protester's price would not have been low, and that protester therefore would not have been in line for award in any case. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-266034-2/html/GAOREPORTS-B-266034-2.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-266034-2/pdf/GAOREPORTS-B-266034-2.pdf GAO/B-266034.2 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-B-266034-2 Comptroller General Decision GAO/B-266034.2; Ameriko, Inc.; Title 31 Section 3553(d)(3)(A)(i) 31 U.S.C. 3553(d)(3)(A)(i) Title 40 Section 276a(a) 40 U.S.C. 276a(a) Title 41 Section 351(a)(1) 41 U.S.C. 351(a)(1)
