         William K. Walker, Esq., Walker Reausaw, for the protester.
         Johnathan M. Bailey, Esq., Bailey & Bailey, PC, for the intervenor.
         Timothy A. Raezer, Esq., and Gregory Zagorin, Esq., Defense Logistics Agency, for

         DIGEST

         1. Protest that awardee's low price was based on labor rates below those required
         under the Service Contract Act (SCA) and applicable collective bargaining
         agreement (CBA)  is denied where a fixed-price contract was awarded and awardee
         did not take exception to applicable SCA or CBA requirements.

         2. Protest that awardee's proposal will violate the Service Contract Act is a matter
         for consideration by the Department of Labor, not GAO.

         3. Protest that awardee's proposed personnel do not meet the experience
         requirements of the solicitation is denied where the record demonstrates that the
         agency's evaluation was reasonable.
