Richard B. O'Keeffe, Jr., Esq., William A. Roberts III, Esq., Gary S. Ward, Esq., George

Nora K. Adkins, Esq., and Amy B. Pereira, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO,

DIGEST

1. Protest challenging agency's evaluation of the protester's staffing approach is denied
where the agency reasonably concluded that the protester's proposal failed to meet the
required student-to-flight instructor ratio set forth in the solicitation.

2. Protest challenging agency's evaluation of the awardee's staffing approach is denied
where the agency's evaluation was reasonable and consistent with the solicitation
criteria.

3. Protester is not an interested party to challenge agency's analysis of the offerors'
costs where the solicitation provided for award on a low-cost, technically-acceptable
basis and the agency reasonably concluded that awardee provided the only
technically-acceptable offer.

Services, Inc., of Germantown, Maryland, by the Department of the Army under request
