DIGEST Requirement in a solicitation for logistics training for mariners, that proposals include the resumes and signed employment letters of intent for key personnel, is unobjectionable, where the agency has provided a reasonable explanation for the requirement. DECISION Maritime Institute Inc. protests the terms of request for proposals (RFP) No. N00033-12-R-8012, issued by the Department of the Navy, for logistics training services for civilian mariners. We deny the protest. The RFP, issued as a small business set-aside, provides for the award of a fixed-price contract for a base period of 1 year with two 1-year option periods.
