Washington, DC 20548                                  The decision issued on the date below was subject to a
                                                      GAO Protective Order. This redacted version has been

          Decision

          Matter of: Group GPS Multimedia

          File:        B-310716

          Date:        January 22, 2008

          Ryan P. Angle, Esq., for the protester.
          Capt. Megan E. Yoss, Department of the Army, 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

          1. Awardee's proposal submitted in response to a solicitation for audio-visual
          products and services was reasonably evaluated, where the agency reasonably
          considered the awardee's proposed approach consistent with the evaluation factors
          set forth in the solicitation.

          2. Awardee's proposal that included a particular labor category to perform service
          contract work was not legally objectionable where the proposal, submitted in
          response to a solicitation that provided for the award of a fixed-price contract, did
          not violate any solicitation provisions; contention that the use of the proposed labor
          category would violate the Service Contract Act will not be considered by GAO
          because it is a matter for consideration by the Department of Labor and whether
          contract requirements are met during the performance of the contract is a matter of
          contract administration.
          DECISION

          Group GPS Multimedia protests the award of a contract to K-MAR Industries, Inc.,
          under request for proposals (RFP) No. W9124N-07-R-0004, issued by the Department
          of the Army, for audio-visual products and services. The protester argues that the
          agency's evaluation and selection of K-MAR's proposal for award were unreasonable.

          We deny the protest.

          The RFP, issued as a 100-percent set-aside for small businesses, provided for the
          award of a fixed-price contract for a base period of 11-months with four 1-year
          options. The contractor will be required to provide all personnel, management,
          supervision, equipment, tools, supplies, materials, transportation, and any other
