handle is hein.gao/gaobadbjr0001 and id is 1 raw text is: £G A O Comptroller General ,Accuntabilty Integrity * Reliability of the United States United States Government Accountability Office Washington, DC 20548 Decision Matter of: Information Ventures, Inc. File: B-299255 Date: March 19, 2007 Bruce H. Kleinstein, Esq., for the protester. Scott C. Briles, Esq., Department of Health and Human Services, for the agency. Jennifer D. Westfall-McGrail, Esq., and Christine S. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest alleging that sample task to be used for cost evaluation under solicitation contemplating award of multiple cost-reimbursement contracts is not representative of the contract work is denied where the record fails to support the protester's position. 2. Protest that solicitation is inconsistent with Federal Acquisition Regulation § 16.504(a)(4)(iv), which requires that a solicitation for an indefinite quantity that contemplates multiple awards state the procedures and selection criteria that the government will use to provide awardees a fair opportunity to be considered for each order, is denied where solicitation identifies the procedures and selection criteria the agency will use in evaluating contractor responses to requests for task order proposals. 3. Under solicitation contemplating the award of multiple task order contracts, where it is impossible to determine the amount of work that will ultimately be awarded to each contractor at the time of award, minimum guaranteed amount of $1, 000 per contract is reasonable. DECISION Information Ventures, Inc. (IVI) protests the terms of request for proposals (RFP) No. 2006-N-09172, issued by the Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), for health marketing training and consultation services. IVJ complains that the RFP does not include a rational cost evaluation scheme and that it contains other improprieties.
