File: B-291775 Date: March 21, 2003 David Barbour for the protester. Catherine L. Horan, Esq., and Richard G. Welsh, Esq., Naval Facilities Engineering Command, for the agency. Scott H. Riback, Esq., and John M. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest that agency miscalculated in-house performance costs (associated with federal pay raise assumptions) in Office of Management and Budget Circular A-76 cost study is denied where record shows that agency's calculations were in accordance with policy guidelines, and calculations reflect actual costs agency will experience during first period of performance. 2. Protest that agency improperly failed to include certain direct costs in preparing agency in-house cost estimate is denied where record shows that agency properly treated costs as wash costs, consistent with applicable guidance. 3. Protest allegations that involve dollar amount insufficient to change outcome of Office of Management and Budget Circular A-76 cost study are denied where, even if protester were correct in its allegations, correction of the alleged errors would not change the study's outcome. DECISION LBM, Inc. protests the Department of the Navy's determination, pursuant to Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-76, that in-house performance of motor transportation operation and maintenance services at the Marine Corps Recruiting Depot at Parris Island, South Carolina, would be more economical than awarding a contract under request for proposals (RFP) No. N62467-02-R-0333. LBM maintains that the agency made several errors in calculating the cost of in-house performance. We deny the protest.
