Uri R. Yoo, Esq., and Alexander O. Levine, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO,

DIGEST

1. Protest that the agency unreasonably failed to reconcile its reevaluation with an
earlier evaluation is denied where a different evaluation team and source selection
authority were responsible for the final evaluation and award decision.

2. Protest alleging defects in the awardee's performance guarantee is dismissed where
the solicitation requirement at issue is a matter of responsibility and the protester fails to
demonstrate circumstances warranting our Office's review of the agency's affirmative
responsibility determination.
DECISION

SRS  Critical Infrastructure Security, LLC (SCIS), of Herndon, Virginia, protests the
award of a contract to Centerra Group, LLC, of Herndon Virginia, under request for
proposals (RFP) No. 89303318REM000015, issued by the   Department  of Energy
(DOE)  for paramilitary security services at the agency's Savannah River site. SCIS
argues that the agency unreasonably evaluated proposals and erroneously determined
Centerra complied with a material solicitation requirement.


We  deny the protest.
