Joshua Kranzberg, Esq., Department of the Army, for the agency. Marie Penny Ahearn, Esq., and John M. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Where principal employee proposed by protester tendered resignation prior to initial closing date, protester accepted resignation prior to closing date, agency advised protester of the need to provide replacement individual with required supporting past performance information, and protester failed to do so, agency reasonably rated protester's proposal unacceptable for past performance and rejected it. DECISION JRS Management protests the rejection of its proposal under request for proposals (RFP) No. DAAB08-97-R-0028, issued by the Department of the Army for financial education and counseling services at Fort Monmouth, New Jersey. We deny the protest. The RFP, as amended, provided for award to the offeror submitting the best overall proposal based on evaluation of three factors listed in descending order of importance--technical capabilities/oral presentation, past performance, and price. For the proposed program manager, the principal employee under the contract, the solicitation required offerors to submit a detailed resume, a certification of 2 years of specialized experience providing consumer/financial affairs counseling, and three references. Two offerors--JRS and the Life Enhancement Company--submitted proposals by the September 18, 1997, amended closing date. For the program manager position, the protester's proposal included the resume and references for an individual who is currently performing the protester's incumbent contract for similar services. This same individual also submitted her own independent, competing proposal, in the name of Life Enhancement. By letter dated September 4, the individual notified JRS
