Unsigt , Stats Gn ADOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE Washington, DC 20548 The decision issued on the date below was subject to a GAO Protective Order. This redacted version has been approved for public release. D e c is io n------------------------- -- Matter of: C&S Corporation File: B-411725 Date: October 7, 2015 Song Yong Eui, Esq., Chung Jin Law Office, for the protester. Maj. Michael G. Pond, Capt. Harry M. Parent, and Scott N. Flesch, Esq., Department of the Army, for the agency. Kenneth Tae Kim, Esq. and James Jin Chung, Esq., Yoon & Yang LLC, for KF&S Corporation, the intervenor. Heather Weiner, Esq., and Jonathan L. Kang, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest that the agency should have found the awardee's proposal technically unacceptable is denied where the agency's interpretation of the solicitation's terms was reasonable. 2. Protest alleging bias and bad faith on the part of an agency is denied where protester does not support its allegations with convincing proof, and the record does not otherwise reflect bias or bad faith. DECISION C&S Corporation, of Seoul, Korea, protests the award of a contract to KF&S Corporation, also of Seoul, Korea, under request for proposals (RFP) No. W91 QVN- 15-R-0036, which was issued by the Department of the Army, Army Contracting Command, for contract security guard services. C&S argues that KF&S's proposal should have been found unacceptable for failing to meet the solicitation's prime contractor corporate experience requirements. The protester also asserts that KF&S included forged labor union documents in its proposal, which should disqualify that firm from award. In addition, C&S challenges the veracity of the agency's statements responding to the forgery allegation, which we view as an assertion that the agency was motivated by bias and bad faith. We deny the protest.
