handle is hein.gao/gaocrptadxq0001 and id is 1 raw text is: Comptroller General of the United States Washington, D.C. 20548 Decision Matter of: Dennis Marceron File: B-270253 Date: February 21, 1996 Michael E. Snyder, Esq., James P. Campbell & Assocs., for the protester. Nicholas P. Retson, Esq., and David S. Franke, Esq., Department of the Army, for the agency. John L. Formica, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Agency's interpretation of a solicitation provision setting forth minimum qualifications for the award of a contract to teach the German language to United States military linguists is reasonable where the agency's interpretation is consistent with the language of the solicitation when read as a whole, and the protester's interpretation is not. DECISION Dennis Marceron protests the award of a contract to Dr. Gundrun Richmond under invitation for bids (IFB) No. DAJA02-95-B-0149, issued by the Department of the Army for German language instructor services at the Foreign Language Training Center (FLTC) in Garmisch, Germany. Mr. Marceron protests that the agency unreasonably determined that he did not meet certain special standards of responsibility set forth in the solicitation. We deny the protest. The IFB, issued September 18, 1995, provided for the award of three contracts for services as German language instructors to the three lowest-priced, responsive, responsible bidders, with each contract having a base period of 1 year with two 1-year options. The contractors are required to conduct seven German language courses (for a total of 1,384 hours of instruction) in each contract period. The IFB set forth certain minimum qualifications, or special standards of responsibility, 319221
