D e c is io n - .---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Matter of: Patricio Enterprises Inc. File: B-412738; B-412738.2 Date: May 26, 2016 Paul F. Khoury, Esq., Tracye Winfrey Howard, Esq., and Moshe B. Broder, Esq., Wiley Rein LLP, for the protester. David R. Warner, Esq., Wojciech Z. Kornacki, Esq., and Barbara S. Kinosky, Esq., Centre Law and Consulting, LLC, for Knowledge Capital Associates, the intervenor. Korvin S. Kraics, Esq., and Ian F. Rothfuss, Esq., United States Marine Corps, for the agency. Jonathan L. Kang, Esq., and Cherie J. Owen, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest that the awardee's proposal contained material misrepresentations concerning the availability of personnel is sustained where the record shows that the proposal stated that the awardee had signed offer letters in place for certain proposed personnel despite never providing such letters to these individuals, and where the record shows that the misrepresentations had a material effect on the agency's evaluation of the awardee's proposal. 2. In light of the awardee's material misrepresentations concerning the availability of its proposed personnel, GAO recommends termination of the award and exclusion of the awardee from the competition. DECISION Patricio Enterprises Inc., of Stafford, Virginia, a service-disabled, veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB), protests the issuance of a task order to Knowledge Capital Associates (KCA), of Quantico, Virginia, also a SDVOSB, by the United States Marine Corps under request for proposals (RFP) No. N00024-15-R-3588, for logistics support services for the agency's Program Manager, Infantry Weapons Systems (PM IWS). The protester argues that the awardee's proposal contained material misrepresentations concerning the availability of its proposed personnel, and that the agency unreasonably evaluated the adequacy of the awardee's proposed staffing for certain tasks.
