Constellis Triple Canopy was selected by Baghdad's embassy to provide logistical and protected support services. 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 claims that Gonzales failed to discuss the agency's role as a joint-venture partner on the incumbent agreement
Gonzales appealed, claiming that the agency didn't adequately discuss its role of joint venture partner or evaluate the performance and competitors. Triple Canopy insists that the discussions were productive and tailored to each offeror. Accordingly, the agency did not breach any contract provision or a statute. Gonzales also argues that its past performance is comparable to Triple Canopy (the agency's other joint-venture partner) on the incumbent agreement.
The protester also argues that the agency's evaluation was improperly flawed because it relied on an erroneous technical evaluation. The agency failed to adequately document its assessment of Gonzales's past performance, and did not adequately discuss its role as a joint venture partner on the incumbent contract. It asserts that the selection decision was rational and justified.
Gonzales claims that Triple Canopy was advised by the agency that its price was too high
Gonzales asserts that the agency failed recognize the price risks and misattributed disparate treatment to it. Gonzales asserts that the agency gave different bonuses to its employees than it did to them. Gonzales claims his agent advised him that his cost was too high. Triple Canopy however maintains that its employees did not get the same treatment.
The contracting officer did not have an obligation to raise 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 agent was not required to bring up past performance issues during negotiations. To enhance the understanding of the agency, it provided information.
Constellis Triple Canopy recently revised its retention strategy to improve its proposal
The agency received four proposals before its proposal due date, established a competitive range, and held discussions with three of them - Gonzales, Triple Canopy, and an unnamed third offeror. Throughout these discussions the agency did nothing to alter its ratings. Triple Canopy conducted a debriefing, but did not protest the protest. Triple Canopy's revised retention plans were not evaluated by the agency.
The company identified three contracts that were exemplary for its past performance. Triple Canopy was 70% of the company's 70 percent ownership in a joint venture that Triple Canopy had with FPS. Another was a contract for the Department of Energy. These were the three main examples that were highlighted in the revised retention program. The proposal was significantly improved. The revised proposal included additional information and a commitment to bonus payments. Triple Canopy’s revised retention plan was a significant improvement on its original proposal.

How to hunt wild hogs
Wild hogs are large animals found in North America, Africa, Asia, and Europe. Wild hogs feed on vegetation and small animals such a rabbits or mice, birds, insects, and fish. They usually feed at night. The gestation period is approximately six months. One piglet then emerges. A sow can give birth once every two years. Wild hogs can be solitary, but they may live in herds.
The average weight of a wild boar is 200 pounds (90 kg). Their average head length is 10-12 inches (25-30cm), and their body length is 20-30 inches (50-75cm). Wild pigs have long legs, broad shoulders, and short tails. They have a thick layer of fat under their skin.
They have strong senses of smell, hearing and sight. These senses allow them to spot danger and locate food. They can run up 35 miles per hour (56 km/h), as well as jump up to 15ft (4m) distances. They are sharp-toothed and have sharp claws. They are aggressive when protecting themselves against predators.
Hunting wild hogs is hard because they are intelligent, fast, and elusive. Hunting wild animals requires precision and careful stalking. Hunters should not shoot too quickly. The animal might escape. If hunters shoot too late, the animal may die before it reaches cover.
There are many different hunting methods that can be used to kill wild boars. The most commonly used method is shooting. This involves hunting the animal down and waiting for it to come within range. Another method is trapping. Trapping involves setting traps near water sources where the hogs drink. The traps are often equipped with a scent lure that includes peanut butter mixed with corn meal. When the trap is opened, the hunter shoots a trapped pig.
Snaring, another method, is also an option. Snaring involves using a noose made of rope to catch the porc. It is most effective if the pigs are caught in its mating period.
Other methods include spearing, netting, and poisoning. To stop pigs from breathing, spearing and netting involve putting a spear or net through the neck of the animal. Poisoning is when the poison is injected into the pig's throat.
