handle is hein.gao/gaobadbuv0001 and id is 1 raw text is: JiL .L A - GA O Comptroller General f~.n! 7 Accountabiity * Integrity * Reliability of the United States United States Government Accountability Office Washington, DC 20548 D .. Decision Matter of: Helionix Systems, Inc. File: B-404905.2 Date: May 26, 2011 Gary L. Rigney, Esq., for the protester. Leigh Ann Bunetta, Esq., General Services Administration, for the agency. Paula J. Haurilesko, Esq., and Guy R. Pietrovito, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Solicitation requirements that key personnel have minimum experience levels and provide personal references, and that the contractor obtain the consent of the contracting officer to replace key personnel, are not unduly restrictive where the agency establishes that the requirements are reasonably necessary to meet the agency's needs. 2. Protester's contention that a solicitation requires that the costs for a program manager be charged as an indirect cost is denied where the solicitation includes no such requirement; instead the solicitation provides that the program manager cannot be charged as a billable item, but does not dictate how the contractor should account for the program manager's costs. DECISION Helionix Systems, Inc., of Huntsville, Alabama, protests the terms of request for proposals (RFP) No. GS-08P-1 1-JE-D-0006 issued by the General Services Administration (GSA), Public Buildings Service (PBS), for administrative and technical support services for GSA's Rocky Mountain Region. We deny the protest. BACKGROUND PBS provides workspace for millions of federal employees in government-owned buildings and privately-owned, leased facilities across the nation. Agency Report (AR) at 2. In addition, PBS repairs, alters, renovates, and maintains these facilities.
