Matter of: General Dynamics One Source, LLC File: B-409869.3; B-409869.4 Date: September 8, 2014 Michael D. McGill, Esq., Thomas L. McGovern III, Esq., Brendan M. Lill, Esq., and Danielle M. Berti, Esq., Hogan Lovells US LLP, for the protester. Eric Crane, Esq., Beth Sturgess, Esq., Mark Allen, Esq., and Barbara Walthers, Esq., United States Citizenship and Immigration Services, for the agency. Eric M. Ransom, Esq., and Edward Goldstein, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest that agency deviated from solicitation's stated desire for greater efficiencies in performance of requirements by finding fault with the protester's staffing reductions in option years is denied where the record reflects that the evaluation and competitive range determination were reasonably based on concern that proposed staffing reductions were not sufficiently supported for the agency to conclude that the reductions would not compromise the protester's ability to meet the solicitation requirements. DECISION General Dynamics One Source, LLC (GDOS) protests the exclusion of its proposal from the competitive range by the Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), under request for proposals (RFP) No. HSSCCG-13-R-00004, for the National Area and Transnational IT Operations and Next-Generation Support (NATIONS) task order. The task order is to be issued against a successful offeror's General Services Administration (GSA) Alliant prime contract. GDOS alleges that the agency's evaluation of its proposal was unreasonable and inconsistent with the terms of the RFP.1 1 The estimated value of the task order at issue is in excess of $10 million. Accordingly, this procurement is within our jurisdiction to hear protests related to the issuance of task orders under multiple-award indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contracts. 41 U.S.C. § 4106(f)(1)(B).
