handle is hein.gao/gaocrptaebd0001 and id is 1 raw text is: Comptroller General of the United States Washington, D.C. 20548 Decision Matter of: McCaffery & Whitener, Inc. File: B-270814; B-270814.2 Date: April 25, 1996 Thomas F. McCaffery for the protester. Richard S. Haynes, Esq., Department of the Navy, for the agency. Robert C. Arsenoff, Esq., and Paul I. Lieberman, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Agency properly did not consider transition costs in selecting awardee where solicitation did not provide for the evaluation of such costs. 2. Agency evaluation of awardee's technical proposal which did not take into account the need for a phase-in training period is unobjectionable where phase-in training was neither a requirement nor an evaluation factor. 3. Protest that agency should have rejected awardee's offer as presenting an unacceptable cost risk because it contained disproportionate prices for two labor categories is denied where agency reasonably concluded that the government could control the labor mixes to be used in the issuance of delivery orders. DECISION McCaffery & Whitener, Inc. (MWI) protests the award of a contract to Global Associates, Ltd. under request for proposals (RFP) No. N62387-96-D-3017, issued by the Department of the Navy for maritime related engineering, technical and analytical services. MWI alleges that the agency failed to evaluate transition costs in selecting Global for award and that the agency misevaluated Global's technical and price proposals. We deny the protests. The RFP, issued on July 17, 1995, contemplated the award of a 1-year indefinite quantity contract (with 1 option year) with provisions for both fixed-price and time- and-materials delivery orders to be issued by the Navy. Award was to be made to the offeror submitting the low technically acceptable proposal. 1130422
