handle is hein.gao/gaobadren0001 and id is 1 raw text is: G A O Comptroller General Accountability * Integrity * Reliability of the United States United States Government Accountability Office Washington, DC 20548 Decision Matter of: KAES Enterprises, LLC File: B-411225; B-411251; B-411350 Date: June 18, 2015 Christopher Kaes, for the protester. Nathaniel Greeson, Esq., and John Cho, Esq., Federal Emergency Management Agency, 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 alleging that solicitation's performance thresholds are unreasonable is denied where the performance thresholds reflect the agency's need to ensure that contract requirements are met, and logically relate to the required contract tasks. DECISION KAES Enterprises, LLC, of Puyallup, Washington, protests the terms of requests for proposals (RFP) No. HSFE70-15-R-0002, No. HSFE70-15-R-0017, and No. HSFE70-14-R-0041, issued by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for generator maintenance services at FEMA distribution centers in Hawaii, Guam, and Puerto Rico, respectively. KAES alleges that the RFPs are defective because the performance thresholds in the performance work statements (PWS) do not rationally relate to the required tasks. We deny the protest. The three RFPs at issue here, posted by FEMA between December 23, 2014 and February 25, 2015, seek proposals from small business firms to provide generator maintenance services and associated repairs at the three FEMA distribution centers. Each RFP contemplates the award of fixed-price contract on a best-value basis. The RFPs for the Hawaii and Guam requirements anticipate a contract with a 1-year base period of performance and four 1-year option periods. The RFP for the Puerto Rico requirement anticipates a contract with a 1-year base period and twol -year option periods.
