Business Mission Edge, LLC, the intervenor.
Matthew  R. Wilson, Esq., Warren A. Reardon, Esq., and Robert J. Blanch, Jr., Esq.,

Evan D. Wesser, Esq., and Edward Goldstein, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
GAO,  participated in the preparation of the decision.
DIGEST

Protest alleging that the agency unreasonably evaluated the awardee's proposed
staffing approach is denied where nothing in the awardee's contemporaneous proposal
took, or reasonably should have been construed by the agency as taking, exception to
any staffing requirements. In support of its position, the protester relies on the
awardee's draft transition plan. Because the plan was a post-award contract
deliverable, however, any questions about the protester's staffing for the transition raise
matters of contract administration that are not for our consideration as part of our bid
protest function.
DECISION

Mission1st Group, Inc., a small business of Arlington, Virginia, protests the issuance of
a task order to Business Mission Edge, LLC (BME), a small business of Bethesda,
Maryland, under Fair Opportunity Notice (FON) No. CHESS ITES-3S #330932, which
was issued by the Department of the Army, U.S. Army Materiel Command, for
information technology engineering and installation support services to the 335th Signal
Command.   Mission1st challenges the agency's evaluation of proposals, and the
resulting award decision.


We  deny the protest.
