Matter of: Government Logistics Support Services LLC File: B-408683; B-408683.2; B-408683.3; B-408683.4 Date: December 3, 2013 Ronald K. Henry, Esq., David M. Hibey, Esq., and Susanna Y. Chu, Esq., Kaye Scholer LLP, for the protester. Pamela J. Mazza, Esq., Alexander 0. Levine, Esq., and Patrick T. Rothwell, Esq., Piliero Mazza PLLC, for B3 Solutions, LLC, an intervenor. Andrew Bramnick, Esq., and Marina M. Kozmycz, Esq., Department of Defense, for the agency. Charles W. Morrow, Esq., and Jonathan L. Kang, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest arguing that the agency's evaluation of proposals abandoned the terms of the solicitation is sustained where the record shows that: (1) the agency amended the solicitation, which initially stated that the purpose of the contract is to use laborers and warehousemen to provide certain types of moves and services, by deleting the reference to laborers but retaining the reference to warehousemen; (2) the protester, in keeping with the amended solicitation, revised its proposal to offer only the more expensive labor category of warehousemen to perform moves, while the awardee's proposal offered a lower-priced mix of warehousemen and laborers; and (3) the agency ignored the solicitation change--and the fact that the awardee was offering a mix of warehousemen and laborers--and, in a tradeoff decision, concluded that the protester's higher-rated, but higher-priced proposal was not worth the price premium as compared to the awardee's lower-rated, but lower-priced proposal. DECISION Government Logistics Support Services, LLC (GLSS), of Ellicott City, Maryland protests the award of a contract to B3 Solutions, LLC, of Alexandria, Virginia, under request for proposals (RFP) No. HQ0034-13-R-001 9, issued by the Department of Defense (DOD), Washington Headquarters Services (WHS), for logistics support services. GLSS challenges the agency's evaluation of GLSS's and B3's proposals and the award decision.
