                                                     GAO Protective Order. This redacted version has been

          Decision

          Matter of:  George  G. Sharp, Inc.

          File:       B-401077; B-401077.2

          Date:       April 15, 2009

          Dawn  L. Serafine, Esq., Michael J. Gardner, Esq., and George G. Booker, Jr., Esq.,
          Troutman Sanders LLP, for the protester.
          Wilbert Jones, Esq., U. S. Coast Guard, 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. Agency reasonably determined that indication in quotation that successful vendor
          would hire incumbent personnel and that it and team member had corporate
          resources and qualified personnel to meet requirements satisfied solicitation
          requirement that vendors confirm ability to have requisite personnel at time of
          issuance of task order.

          2. Agency's evaluation of successful vendor's proposed project manager (PM) and
          alternate was unobjectionable where agency based evaluation primarily on resume
          detailing proposed PM's qualifications, and also gave credit for alternate candidate
          based on information from outside quotation.

          3. Agency reasonably evaluated successful vendor's and team member's experience
          and past performance as superior where quotation and past performance reference
          response demonstrated relevant experience and overall superior past performance.
          DECISION

          George G. Sharp, Inc., of Alexandria, Virginia, protests the issuance of a task order to
          Universal Systems & Technology, Inc. (UNITECH), of Centreville, Virginia, under
          request for quotations (RFQ) No. HSCG23-09-Q-MMNO39, issued by the Department
          of Homeland Security (DHS), U. S. Coast Guard (USCG), for technical support
          services. The competition was limited to vendors holding General Services
          Administration (GSA) Federal Supply Schedule contracts. Sharp challenges the
          technical evaluation of UNITECH's quotation.


The protest is denied.
