DIGEST

1. Protest that the agency unreasonably evaluated the protester's technical proposal is
denied where the record confirms that the agency assigned positive and negative
findings consistent with the solicitation terms and the contents of the firm's proposal.

2. Protest that the awardee materially misrepresented its staffing plan is denied where
the record confirms that the awardee proposed to use its current workforce to staff the
contract, and any efforts to recruit incumbent personnel do not demonstrate that the
awardee  did not intend to use its current workforce, or that its current workforce is
unable to perform.

3. Protest that the agency unreasonably evaluated the awardee's professional
employee  compensation  plan is denied where the record shows that the agency
reviewed the awardee's proposed labor rates and found that they were realistic based
on employee  payroll information and Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data.
DECISION

FreeAlliance.com, LLC, of McLean, Virginia, protests the issuance of a task order to
Resource  Management   Concepts, Inc. (RMC), of Lexington Park, Maryland under
request for proposals (RFP) No. N0042121 R3006, issued by the Department of the
Navy for cybersecurity services. FreeAlliance argues that the Navy unreasonably
evaluated proposals and improperly made the selection decision.
