January 30, 2013


Aric Bomsztyk, Esq., Barokas, Martin & Tomlinson, for the protester.
MAJ Frank Yoon, MAJ Hugh McClean, Esq., Department of the Air Force, for the
agency.
Gary R. Allen, Esq., and Guy R. Pietrovito, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
DIGEST

The rejection of the protester's proposal as unacceptable was reasonable where the
protester failed to provide a required plan for meeting performance objectives.
DECISION

Security Management and Integration, Inc. (SMI), of Tacoma, Washington, protests
the rejection of its proposal under request for proposals (RFP)
No. FA4830-12-R-0021, issued by the Department of the Air Force for mess
attendant services. SMI challenges the agency's technical evaluation of its
proposal.

We deny the protest.

BACKGROUND

The RFP, issued as a Historically Underutilized Business Zone (HUBZone) small
business set-aside under the commercial item acquisition procedures of Federal
Acquisition Regulation part 12, provided for the award of a fixed-price contract for
mess attendant services at Moody Air Force Base, Georgia. A Performance Work
Statement (PWS) described performance objectives and required
thresholds/standards for the objectives. PWS T 2.1 at 12-14. For example, the
PWS stated that the contractor would be required to comply 100 percent of the time
with the specified sanitation requirements. Id. at 12.
