This version has been approved for public release. Decision Matter of: The OMO Group, Inc. File: B-294328 Date: October 19, 2004 Garreth E. Shaw, Esq., The Shaw Law Firm, for the protester. Susan L. Schor, Esq., McManus, Schor, Asmar & Darden, for RehabPlus Group, Inc., an intervenor. Clarence D. Long III, Esq., Department of the Air Force, for the agency. Edward Goldstein, Esq., and Christine S. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Where solicitation required the submission of an average vacancy fill rate in order to evaluate a firm's ability to address personnel turnover in a timely manner, the agency reasonably calculated the awardee's rate using reported vacancies for positions that were identified as vacant for zero calendar days based on its conclusion that a vacancy of zero days represented situations where a position was immediately filled, thus demonstrating good planning and management by the awardee. 2. Contracting agency reasonably concluded that awardee's program manager had the solicitation's desired experience, despite the fact that the awardee's proposal indicated that its program manager only partially met the desired experience criterion, where the record shows that the evaluators were familiar with the nature of the positions held by the proposed program manager; the program manager's experience was well known within the Department of Defense; two other offerors proposed the same program manager as having the desired experience; and the program manager's declaration supported the agency's conclusions about his experience. 3. Challenge to awardee's past performance rating of confidence is denied where the record shows that the rating was reasonable despite a single negative past
