A Accountabity * Integrity * Reliability of the United States United States Government Accountability Office Washington, DC 20548 DOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE The decision issued on the date below was subject to a GAO Protective Order. This redacted version has been approved for public release. Matter of: FedSys, Inc. File: B-401453 Date: September 8, 2009 Richard J. Webber, Esq., Lisa K. Miller, Esq., and Kavitha J. Babu, Esq., Arent Fox LLP, for the protester. J. Alex Ward, Esq., Leslie H. Lepow, Esq., Damien C. Specht, Esq., and Eric R. Haren, Esq., Jenner & Block LLP, for A-T Solutions, Inc., an intervenor. Maj. Walter R. Dukes, and David Scott, Esq., U.S. Army Materiel Command, for the agency. Jonathan L. Kang, Esq., and Ralph 0. White, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest challenging agency's cost realism analysis is denied where the agency reasonably adjusted the protester's proposed costs to account for its failure to propose the correct number of labor hours, as required by the solicitation. 2. Protest challenging agency's technical evaluation is denied where the record shows that even if the agency's identification of a minor weakness in the protester's proposal was unreasonable, the conclusion did not materially affect the award decision. DECISION FedSys, Inc., of Juno Beach, Florida, protests the award of a contract to A-T Solutions, Inc. (ATS), of Fredericksburg, Virginia, under request for proposals (RFP) No. W91CRB-08-R-0011, issued by the Department of the Army, Army Research, Development and Engineering Command Contracting Center, for counter-improvised explosive device (IED) training services. FedSys argues the agency's evaluation of the protester's proposed costs and technical proposal was unreasonable, and that the selection decision was also flawed. We deny the protest.
