Comptroller General Washington, DC 20548 of the United States ....................................................................................................................... DOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE The decision issued on the date below was subject to Decision a GAO Protective Order. This redacted version has been approved for public release. Matter of: CASS Professional Services Corp. File: B-415941 ; B-415941.2 Date: April 27, 2018 Michael E. Barnicle, Esq., and Matthew A. Freeman, Esq., Duane Morris LLP, for the protester. James H. Roberts, III, Esq., Van Scoyoc Roberts PLLC, for the intervenor. Heather M. Self, Esq., Department of Agriculture, for the agency. Young S. Lee, Esq., and Peter H. Tran, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest challenging contracting officer's affirmative determination of responsibility is dismissed where the assertion on which the protest is based does not constitute the type of allegation that triggers a review of affirmative responsibility determinations under our Bid Protest Regulations. 2. Protest challenging agency's evaluation of proposals, as well as the agency's best-value decision, is denied where record shows that the evaluation and award decision were reasonable and consistent with the terms of the solicitation. DECISION CASS Professional Services Corp. (CASS), a service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB) of Temecula, California, protests the award of a contract to Cherokee Holdings, LLC, a SDVOSB of Washington, Utah, under request for proposals (RFP) No. AG-024B-S-17-0014, issued by the Department of Agriculture, Forest Service for HC-130H aircraft aircrew support. The protester alleges that the affirmative responsibility determination performed on Cherokee was flawed. CASS also asserts that the agency failed to properly evaluate proposals and that the best-value award decision was unreasonable. We dismiss the protest in part and deny it in part.
