          DIGEST

          Protest challenging agency decision to retain certain services in-house as a result of
          a cost comparison conducted pursuant to Office of Management and Budget Circular
          A-76 on the basis that government's most efficient organization (MEO) plan
          improperly failed to include sufficient staffing to meet performance work statement
          (PWS) requirements is denied where record supports reasonableness of agency's
          determination, confirmed by independent reviewing official and administrative
          appeals board, that MEO included adequate staffing to meet PWS requirements.
          DECISION

          Remtech Services, Inc. protests the determination of the Department of the Army to
          retain in-house Directorate of Information Management (DOIM) information
          resource management services at Fort Monroe, Virginia. Remtech contends that the
          agency should have determined that award of a contract to Remtech to perform the
          services would be more economical. Remtech contends that the agency's cost
          comparison under Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-76,


          'The DOIM provides information services (including information management,
          automation, network and server operations, desktop computing data, telephone and
          video communications, records management, database administration, application
          sustainment, printing and mail distribution) to the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine
          Command  and other installation headquarters at Fort Monroe. PWS §C-1.1.3; Source
