handle is hein.gao/gaobacyms0001 and id is 1 raw text is: I G A 0Comptroller General .. . .Accountability * Integrity * Reliability of the United States United States General Accounting Office Washington, DC 20548 D .. Decision Matter of: Population Health Services, Inc. File: B-292858 Date: December 1, 2003 William J. Murphy, Esq., for the protester. Gena E. Cadieux, Esq., Paul R. Davis, Esq., and Janet Z. Barsy, Esq., Department of Energy, 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 Agency evaluated proposals in accordance with the evaluation criteria and reasonably downgraded the protester's proposal under the solicitation's experience sub-criterion where the sub-criterion provided for the evaluation of corporate as well as key personnel experience and the record reflects that the protester lacks corporate experience. DECISION Population Health Services, Inc. (PHS) protests the exclusion of its proposal from the competitive range under request for proposals (RFP) No. DE-RPO6-03RL14383, issued by the Department of Energy (DOE), for occupational medical services. PHS argues that the agency's evaluation of its proposal was inconsistent with the terms of the solicitation and unreasonable. 1 PHS also argued in its protest that the procurement was tainted by certain specific actions that the protester believed constituted violations of the Procurement Integrity Act, 41 U.S.C. § 423 (2000). The protester and agency subsequently informed our Office that the agency's Office of Inspector General is investigating the protester's allegations. In view of the Inspector General's investigation, we dismissed PHS's protest issues that are under investigation, noting that PHS may reinstate the protest regarding these issues upon completion of the investigation.
