Protest challenging as unclear the terms of a Commerce Business Daily announcement seeking expressions of interest (EOI) for a decontamination, decommissioning, and recycling project for the Department of Energy (DOE) is denied where on its face, the announcement reasonably described the work to be performed and provided sufficient information, considering the nature of the procurement, to enable all interested parties, including the protester, to prepare EOIs in response, particularly given that prior to publishing the announcement DOE held a workshop to discuss the agency's goals with respect to the project with private industry, and protester attended that workshop, presented its proposed approach to DOE officials, and was a team member of a consortium that subsequently submitted a proposal to DOE to complete the project. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-275636/html/GAOREPORTS-B-275636.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-275636/pdf/GAOREPORTS-B-275636.pdf GAO/B-275636 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-B-275636 Comptroller General Decision GAO/B-275636; SouthEastern Technologies, Inc.; Title 15 Section 637(e) Title 15 Section 637(f) Title 15 Section 637(f)(1) 15 U.S.C. 637(e) 15 U.S.C. 637(f) 15 U.S.C. 637(f)(1) Title 41 Section 416(a) Title 41 Section 416(b) Title 41 Section 416(b)(1) 41 U.S.C. 416(a) 41 U.S.C. 416(b) 41 U.S.C. 416(b)(1)
