handle is hein.gao/gaobadbov0001 and id is 1 raw text is: G A 0 Comptroller General Accountability * Integrity * Reliability of the United States United States Government Accountability Office Washington, DC 20548 D .. Decision Matter of: Triad Logistics Services Corporation File: B-403726 Date: November 24, 2010 Edward J. Kinberg, Esq., Kinberg & Assocs., for the protester. John Pettit, Esq., and Maj. Stephan Piel, Department of the Air Force, for the agency. David A. Ashen, Esq., and John M. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Assertion that agency determination to perform work in-house rather than under protester's contract improperly was based on an internal agency cost comparison that did not comply with 10 U.S.C. § 129a or internal department policy and guidance does not state a valid basis of protest; 10 U.S.C. § 129a sets forth general personnel policy of Department of Defense and does not bear directly on federal agency procurements, and compliance with internal agency guidance is a matter GAO will not consider. DECISION Triad Logistics Services Corporation protests the Department of the Air Force's decision to convert to in-house performance vehicle operations and maintenance services at Columbus Air Force Base, Mississippi, previously performed under Triad's contract No. FA3022-07-C-0001. We dismiss the protest. The contract awarded to Triad in 2006 provided for a 1-year base period, with services to commence on October 1, 2006, and included four 1-year options. On June 22, 2010, prior to expiration of the third option period (on September 30), the Air Force advised Triad that the agency will initiate the process of in-sourcing performance of the vehicle operations and maintenance services. Letter from Air Force to Triad, June 22, 2010; Agency Contract Administrator Memorandum, June 22, 2010, Meeting with Triad. On July 15, Triad submitted a request under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) for documents concerning the agency's determination to in-source the requirement, including documents relating to a comparison of the costs
