Decision


Matter of: Medical Staffing Solutions USA

File:       B-415571 ; B-415571.2

Date:       December 13, 2017

Edward J. Tolchin, Esq., Offit Kurman Attorneys at Law, for the protester.
Major Bruce H. Robinson, and Scott N. Flesch, Esq., Department of the Army, for the
agency.
Todd C. Culliton, Esq., and Scott H. Riback, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO,
participated in the preparation of the decision.
DIGEST

1. Protest is dismissed as abandoned when the agency provided a detailed response to
the initial protest allegations and the protester did not offer any rebuttal in its comments.

2. Protest is dismissed as untimely when the protester did not raise new protest
allegations within 10 days of when it knew or should have known of them.
DECISION

Medical Staffing Solutions USA (MSS), of Norfolk, Virginia, protests the award of a
contract to WJM Professional Services, LLC, of Rockville, Maryland, under request for
proposals (RFP) No. W91YTZ-1 7-R-0002, issued by the Department of the Army for
emergency physician services at Fort Benning, Georgia. MSS alleges that the agency
misevaluated WJM's proposal and made an unreasonable best-value tradeoff
determination.

We dismiss the protest.

On February 2, 2017, the agency issued the solicitation as a small business set-aside
under the U.S. Small Business Administration's 8(a) program, which contemplates the
award of a fixed-price contract for emergency physician services to be performed over a
one-year base period and four 1-year option periods. RFP at 1; Tab 5, RFP amend. 1
at 2. The RFP specified that award would be made on the basis of a best-value tradeoff
evaluation, and that proposals would be evaluated based on three factors: technical,
past performance, and price. RFP at 81-82.
