          File:       B-408382; B-408382.2

          Date:       September 4, 2013

          Richard J. Conway, Esq., and Matthew W. Turetzky, Esq., Dickstein Shapiro LLP,
          for the protester.
          Maj. Joseph K. Venghaus, Department of the Army, for the agency.
          Frank Maguire, Esq., and David A. Ashen, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
          GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
          DIGEST

          1. Protest that an awardee proposed personnel it did not expect to furnish during
          contract performance is denied where the awardee's proposal indicated its intent to
          recruit incumbent personnel, proposal included signed commitments for all named
          key personnel, and the protester cites no convincing evidence of misrepresentation.

          2. In a negotiated procurement for the award of a fixed-price contract, protest that
          an awardee's proposed price was unrealistically low is denied where the solicitation
          did not provide for a price realism analysis.
          DECISION

          Network Innovations, Inc. (NI), of Calgary, Canada, protests the United States
          Central Command's award of a contract to Global Technology (GT) of Kabul,
          Afghanistan, under request for proposals (RFP) No. W56KJD-13-R-0019, for a
          six-month bridge contract for information technology (IT) network operations and
          maintenance (O&M) services for the Afghan Ministry of Defense (MoD). NI asserts
          that the awardee proposed staff that it did not currently employ and did not intend to
          use in contract performance and that the awardee's low price was unrealistic.


We deny the protest.
