This redacted version has been approved for public release. Decision Matter of: CMI Management, Inc. File: B-402172; B-402172.2 Date: January 26, 2010 Patricia H. Wittie, Esq., Karla J. Letsche, Esq., and Kathryn E. Swisher, Esq., Oldaker Belair & Wittie LLP, for the protester. Thomas P. Humphrey, Esq., John E. McCarthy Jr., Esq., Richard W. Arnholt, Esq., and Adelicia R.

Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest that agency did not perform adequate realism analysis of awardee's proposal is denied where agency recognized potential risk in awardee's offering to perform with fewer hours than provided for in government estimate, asked awardee to address risk, and had a reasonable basis for finding that awardee adequately justified its proposed hours. 2. Protest that agency unreasonably rated awardee's proposal outstanding under past performance evaluation factor is denied where record supports agency's finding that awardee's proposal listed relevant past performance. 3. Protest that agency unreasonably assigned awardee's proposal superior rating under experience evaluation factor is denied where protester's argument focuses on awardee's experience performing one particular contract, but evaluation was based on experience of both awardee and its major subcontractors on a number of contracts. 4. Assertion that protester's proposal should have received a higher rating under particular subfactor is without merit where assertion constitutes, essentially, disagreement with agency's conclusion that identified strengths did not significantly exceed performance standards, the basis for a higher rating.
