This redacted version has been approved for public release. Decision Matter of: Information Spectrum, Inc. File: B-285811; B-285811.2 Date: October 17, 2000 Claude P. Goddard, Jr., Esq., and Brian P. Waagner, Esq., Wickwire Gavin, for the protester. David R. Johnson, Esq., and Michael K. Murphy, Esq., Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher, for PricewaterhouseCoopers, the intervenor. John A. Thompson, Esq., Kathy B. Cowley, Esq., and R. David Gale, Jr., Esq., Department of the Navy, for the agency. John L. Formica, Esq., and James A. Spangenberg, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Even though the contemporaneous evaluation documentation was inadequate, the General Accounting Office finds, based upon credible testimony consistent with the contemporaneous record, that the agency reasonably evaluated the staffing level proposed by the awardee in its quote for technical support services to be obtained from a Federal Supply Schedule contract, where the record reflects that the agency evaluators considered, in addition to the total number of hours proposed, the awardee's proposed organizational structure, quality of personnel, and balance of hours between tasks. DECISION Information Spectrum, Inc. (ISI) protests the award of an order to PricewaterhouseCoopers (PWC) under its Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) contract, pursuant to request for quotations (RFQ) No. N00600-99-Q-2444, issued by the Department of the Navy, for technical support services. ISI contends that the Navy's evaluation of its and PWC's quotes was unreasonable and inconsistent with the terms of the solicitation. We deny the protest. The RFQ was issued for the operation and maintenance of the Navy Visibility and Management of Operating and Support Cost (VAMOSC) database for the Naval Center for Cost Analysis (NCCA).
