          Decision

          File:        B-291750

          Date:        February 24, 2003

          J. Scott Hommer III, Esq., and Benjamin A. Winter, Esq., Venable, Baetjer & Howard,
          for the protester.
          Kenneth J. Ingram, Esq., Whiteford, Taylor & Preston, for Access Systems, Inc., an
          intervenor.
          Diane L. Celotto, Esq., Naval Supply Systems Command, for the agency.

          DIGEST

          Protest that agency improperly applied unstated evaluation criteria in evaluating
          awardee's management  proposal as superior to protester's on the basis of its
          transition plan and resumes of incumbent personnel, is denied, since these matters
          were reasonably and logically encompassed by the management plan factor stated in
          the solicitation.
          DECISION

          Preferred Systems Solutions, Inc. (PSS) protests the award of a contract to Access
          Systems, Inc. under request for proposals (RFP) No. N00140-02-R-1284, issued by the
          Department  of the Navy for services in support of the U.S. Joint Forces Command.
          PSS  challenges the technical evaluation and the price/technical tradeoff.

          We  deny the protest.

          The RFP, a section 8(a) set-aside, sought proposals for technical, administrative, and
          clerical services in and around Norfolk, Virginia in the following labor categories:
          program  manager, senior management analyst, management analyst II, management
          analyst I, administrative assistant, word processor 2, word processor 1, facilities
          clerk, food services coordinator, foodservice clerk, and librarian. The RFP
          contemplated the award of an indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (ID/IQ), time
          and materials contract for a base year, with 4 option years.
