B-272114 1 (1996-09-24)

handle is hein.gao/gaocrptaehp0001 and id is 1 raw text is: Comptroller General of the United States Washington, D.C. 20548 Decision Matter of: 50 State Security Service, Inc. File: B-272114 Date: September 24, 1996 Richard J. Webber, Esq., and Alison J. Micheli, Esq., Arent Fox, for the protester. Maj. Michael J. O'Farrell, Jr., Department of the Army, for the agency. Adam Vodraska, Esq., and James A. Spangenberg, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Contracting officer reasonably found protester nonresponsible where the protester failed to promptly provide the necessary proof that it would be able to comply with the required performance schedule. DECISION 50 State Security Service, Inc. protests its rejection as nonresponsible under request for proposals (RFP) No. DAHC92-96-R-0039, issued by the United States Army Garrison-Panama, for security guard services. We deny the protest. The RFP, issued April 15, 1996, contemplated the award of a firm, fixed-price contract to the lowest priced, technically acceptable offeror for a base period of 4 months (June 1 through September 30, 1996) with 4 option year periods extending to December 31, 1999 (when the installations covered by the contract are to be turned over to the government of Panama under the terms of the Panama Canal Treaty). The RFP cautioned offerors to submit sufficient information to enable the contracting officer to fully ascertain each offeror's capability to perform all of the requirements contemplated in the RFP. The agency received 10 proposals by the April 30, 1996, closing date. 50 State's proposal was one of the four proposals determined by agency evaluators to be technically acceptable. 50 State, which was not operating in Panama, proposed filling the majority of guard positions with incumbent guards. These guards had been recruited by 50 State's proposed general manager for the contract, who was then the general manager for an incumbent firm. 604924
