         Matter of: Dev Technology Group

         File: B-412163; B-412163.5

         Date: January 4, 2016

         William A. Shook, Esq., The Law Offices of William A. Shook PLLC, for the
         protester.
         J. Scott Hommer, III, Esq., KeirX. Bancroft, Esq., and Nathaniel S. Canfield, Esq.,
         Venable LLP, for Pyramid Systems, Inc., and David S. Cohen, Esq., John J.
         O'Brien, Esq., Gabriel E. Kennon, Esq., and Daniel J. Strouse, Esq., Cohen Mohr
         LLP, for Vencore Services and Solutions, Inc., the intervenors.
         Joshua A. Kranzberg, Esq., and Barbara Walthers, Esq., Department of Homeland
         Security, United States Citizenship and Immigration Services, for the agency.
         Matthew T. Crosby, Esq., and Christina Sklarew, Esq., Office of the General
         Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
         DIGEST

         1. Protest that an alleged exception to the solicitation's fixed-price term rendered
         awardee's proposal unacceptable is denied where proposal language in question
         reflects the reservation of a right to request, rather than receive, a price adjustment.

         2. Protest that agency should have rejected awardee's proposal on the basis that
         the firm's key personnel allegedly failed to meet minimum qualification requirements
         is denied where solicitation did not contemplate the evaluation of key personnel
         qualifications prior to award, and where record contains nothing to suggest that
         agency favorably evaluated the individual in question.
         DECISION

         Dev Technology Group (DTG), of Reston, Virginia, protests the issuance of a task
         order to Pyramid Systems, Inc., of Fairfax, Virginia, under task order request for
         proposals (RFP) No. HSSCCG-1 5-R-00003 issued by the Department of Homeland
         Security, United States Citizenship and Immigration Services, for Agile development
         and maintenance services to support agency information technology (IT) systems.
