           File:        B-405930

           Date:       January 12, 2012

           Bradley D. Wine, Esq., Tina D. Reynolds, Esq., and Adele H. Lack, Esq., Dickstein
           Shapiro LLP, for the protester.
           Daniel J. Donohue, Esq., Claude P. Goddard, Jr., Esq., and Sarah M. Graves, Esq.,
           Husch Blackwell LLP, for CACI, Inc.-Federal, the intervenor.
           Andrew Sinn, Esq., and Amy Cook, Esq., General Services Administration, for the
           agency.
           Glenn G. Wolcott, Esq., and Sharon L. Larkin, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
           GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
           DIGEST

           1. Agency reasonably assigned awardee's proposal a rating of high confidence under
           the technical capability factor where awardee proposed to meet the solicitation's
           security clearance requirements by offering to employ incumbent personnel or,
           alternatively, to staff the contract using non-incumbent personnel that were eligible
           for security clearances.

           2. Agency reasonably assigned protester's proposal a rating of significant
           confidence, rather than high confidence, under the technical capability factor where
           protester's proposal failed to provide sufficient detail regarding its proposed
           approach to performing contract requirements.

           3. Agency reasonably assigned protester's proposal a rating of significant
           confidence, rather than high confidence, under the past performance evaluation
           factor where protester successfully performed the prior contract's requirements but
           nonetheless, fell short of agency expectations.
           DECISION

           Concepts & Strategies, Inc. (ConStrat), of Washington, D.C., the incumbent
           contractor for the requirements at issue, protests the General Services
           Administration's (GSA) evaluation and source selection activities leading to the
           award of a contract to CACI, Inc.-Federal, of Chantilly, Virginia, under request for
