Comptroller General Washington, DC 20548 of the United States Decision Matter of: Assured Performance Systems Inc. File: B-418233.2 Date: March 10, 2020 Dr. Jerry Bell Jr., Assured Performance Systems Inc., for the protester. Scott N. Flesch, Esq., Nicholas Lucchetti, Esq., and Robert B. Neill, Esq., Department of the Army, for the agency. Christine Milne, Esq., and Tania Calhoun, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest that offerors bear unreasonable risk because they lack sufficient information to prepare proposals and, as a result, the agency will not be able to conduct an adequate price reasonableness analysis is denied where the record shows that the agency has provided sufficient information to offerors, there is a reasonable level of risk, and the agency expects to use multiple appropriate methods of assessing price reasonableness. 2. Protest that the incumbent contractor has an unfair competitive advantage is denied where the record does not show any unfair action or preferential treatment by the agency. DECISION Assured Performance Systems Inc. (APS), a small business of Plainfield, Illinois, protests the terms of request for proposals (RFP) No. W9124D1 9R0031, issued by the Department of the Army for administrative recruiter support services at 268 locations across the United States. The protester contends that the solicitation's failure to include specific information about the incumbent employees places undue risk on prospective offerors, prevents the agency from being able to conduct an adequate price reasonableness analysis, and gives the incumbent contractor an unfair competitive advantage. We deny the protest.
