         Matter  of:  MINACT,  Inc.

         File:        B-400951

         Date:        March 27, 2009

         Angela B. Styles, Esq., Puja Satiani, Esq., and Tracy P. Varghese, Esq., Crowell &
         Moring LLP, for the protester.
         William W. Thompson  II, Esq., Herman J. Narcho, Esq., and Dennis Adelson, Esq.,
         Department  of Labor, for the agency.
         Paul E. Jordan, Esq., and John M. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO,
         participated in the preparation of the decision.
         DIGEST

         1. Protest that evaluation improperly included undisclosed criteria concerning
         milestones for meeting Job Corps Center capacity and compensation sufficient to
         attract and retain personnel is denied, where both matters were clearly encompassed
         by solicitation evaluation provisions.

         2. Evaluators' decision not to raise protester's evaluation score based on revised
         proposal, which resolved weaknesses and added strength, was unobjectionable
         where evaluators reasonably concluded that revisions only demonstrated
         compliance with minimum  solicitation requirements.
         DECISION

         MINACT,  Inc., of Jackson, Mississippi, protests the award of a contract to Dynamic
         Education Systems, Inc. (DESI), of Phoenix, Arizona, under request for proposals
         (RFP) No. SO9F6LA009, issued by the Department of Labor (DOL) for operation of
         the Carville (Louisiana) Job Corps Center (JCC). MINACT challenges the evaluation
         of its proposal.

         We deny the protest.

         Job Corps is a national residential training and employment program administered
         by DOL to address barriers to employment faced by disadvantaged youth throughout
         the United States. Job Corps provides comprehensive career development services
         to students, including academic, career technical, social and independent living
