           Matter of: Serco Inc.

           File:        B-405280

           Date:        October 12, 2011

           Marcia G. Madsen, Esq., Andrew A. Nicely, Esq., David F. Dowd, Esq., Polly A. Myers,
           Esq., and Cameron Hamrick, Esq., Mayer Brown LLP, for the protester.

           Holland & Knight LLP, for Capstone Corporation, the intervenor.
           Capt. Joon K. Hong, and Allen E. Sebastian, Esq. Department of the Army, for the
           agency.

           DIGEST

           1. Protest challenging agency's evaluation of awardee's proposed staffing levels is
           denied where the agency's estimate for the required staffing was reasonable, and the
           awardee's staffing was consistent with agency's estimate.

           2. Protest alleging unequal treatment by the agency with regard to the offerors'
           proposed staffing is denied where the record shows that the protester could not have
           been prejudiced by the alleged unequal evaluations and discussions.
           DECISION

           Serco Inc., of Reston, Virginia, protests the award of a contract to Capstone
           Corporation, of Alexandria, Virginia, by the Department of the Army, under request
           for proposals (RFP) No. W9124D-11-R-0009, for personal effects (PE) processing
           services for the Army Human Resource Command. Serco argues that the Army
           unreasonably evaluated Capstone's proposed staffing levels, misled the protester
           during discussions, and treated the offerors unequally during discussions and
           proposal evaluations.


We deny the protest.
