DIGEST

1. Protest challenging agency's staffing evaluation is denied where the agency
reasonably determined that the awardee's proposed project manager met the
solicitation's requirements and where the agency did not treat offerors unequally.

2. Protest alleging that agency waived a solicitation personnel requirement is denied
where the evaluation record demonstrates that the agency reasonably applied the
requirement in question.
DECISION

Rig Masters, Inc., a small business located in Monterey, Louisiana, protests the award
of a contract to Re-Engineered Business Solutions, Inc. (RBS), a small business located
in Cocoa, Florida, under request for proposals (RFP) No. W912EE-18-R-0012, issued
by the Department of the Army, Corps of Engineers (Corps) for contractor services at
locks and dams in the state of Louisiana. The protester asserts that the agency
unreasonably and unequally evaluated the awardee's proposed project manager, and
improperly relaxed the applicable personnel requirement.


We  deny the protest.
