DIGEST

Protest challenging an agency's evaluation of the awardee's proposal for failing to
reasonably consider whether the proposal presented unacceptable performance risks
due to the awardee's divestiture from its corporate parent is denied. The challenges to
the awardee's financial capacity to perform in fact pertain to the awardee's affirmative
responsibility, and we have no basis to question the reasonableness of the agency's
responsibility determination regarding the awardee. The non-price challenges also fail
because the solicitation did not contemplate the evaluation of any factor other than
price.
DECISION

VSE Corporation, of Alexandria, Virginia, protests the issuance of a task order to
AECOM Management Services, Inc., of Germantown, Maryland, under task order
request (TOR) No. W56HZV-19-X-JW02, which was issued by the Department of the
Army, Army Materiel Command, for a supplemental labor force to support
combat/tactical vehicle production, facilities maintenance, warehousing, and hazardous
materials handling for disposal in support of the Department of Defense Industrial Base
for Red River Army Depot, Sierra Army Depot, Anniston Army Depot, and Rock Island
Arsenal. The TOR was issued against the Equipment Related Services (ERS) contract
suite under the TACOM Strategic Service Solutions (TS3) multiple award, indefinite-
delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts. VSE argues that the Army unreasonably
evaluated AECOM Management Services' proposal.
