Comptroller General
of the United States
Washington, D.C. 20548

Decision



Matter of: McWane and Company, Inc.

File:       B-270374

Date:       March 1, 1996

Gilbert J. McWane for the protester.
John Donaldson, Esq., Department of Transportation, for the agency.
Adam Vodraska, Esq., and Guy R. Pietrovito, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
DIGEST

The procuring agency properly determined that the protester's low priced proposal
was technically unacceptable where the protester failed to provide sufficient
information, as required by the solicitation, to allow the agency to evaluate a
required key person and the protester's proposal demonstrated a lack of
understanding of the contract requirements.
DECISION

McWane and Company, Inc. (MACI) protests the award of a contract to Consulting
and Program Management Services, Inc. (CPMS) by the National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration, Department of Transportation, under request for proposals
(RFP) No. DTNH22-95-R-04122 for inventory and property control support services.

We deny the protest.

The RFP, issued as a total small business set-aside, contemplated the award of a
firm, fixed-priced contract for 1 base with 4 option years. The RFP's statement of
work described the agency's need for a full-time inventory clerk, with supervision as
necessary, to support the overall maintenance of an existing automated property
control system for approximately 10,000 items of non-expendable personal property
located at headquarters, field facilities, and contractor sites. The contractor is to
provide qualified personnel on-site during normal office hours, not to exceed
40 hours per week. The solicitation included the agency's standard operating
procedures for property management, and requires the contractor to process
incoming property, excess property, and transfers of property, and to perform an
annual inventory in accordance with these standard operating procedures. The RFP
also stated that contractor personnel will be supplied with the necessary equipment
and supplies to perform the property management task.
