This redacted version has been approved for public release. Decision Matter of: CGI Federal Inc. File: B-403570; B-403570.2; B-403570.3; B-403570.4 Date: November 5, 2010 Kristen E. Ittig, Esq., David P. Metzger, Esq., Caitlin K. Cloonan, Esq., and Lauren J. Schlanger, Esq., Arnold & Porter LLP, for the protester. Carl J. Peckinpaugh, Esq., and Jill R. N. Chung, Esq., for Computer Sciences Corp., an intervenor. Christine Simpson, Esq., Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, for the agency. Edward Goldstein, Esq., and Christine S. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest of evaluation of cost proposals submitted in connection with task order competition was reasonable where the record reflects that the agency adequately documented its evaluation of firms' proposed direct costs, including labor categories, labor rates, and labor hours, on a task basis, as well as the firms' indirect costs, and reached reasonable conclusions regarding the realism of the proposed costs. 2. Protest alleging that agency's oral discussions regarding its cost proposal were misleading, thereby causing the protester to significantly increase its level of effort and total estimated cost, is denied where the allegations are not consistent with the underlying procurement record and, even assuming the facts alleged by the protester to be true, they fail to establish that the agency's discussions were misleading. DECISION CGI Federal Inc., of Fairfax, Virginia, protests the issuance of the Development Effort Consolidation Contract (DECC) phase 4 task order to Computer Sciences Corporation (CSC) of Falls Church, Virginia, under task order request for proposals (TORP) No. 100677, issued by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to streamline the design, development, operation and maintenance of four different information technology systems that support the Health Care Quality Information System (HCQIS). CGI argues that CMS's discussions with CGI were misleading and unequal as compared with those the agency held with CSC; CMS improperly evaluated and failed to properly document its evaluation of the cost
