United States General Accounting Office DOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE Washington, DC 20548 The decision issued on the date below was subject to a GAO Protective Order. This redacted version has been approved for public release. Decision Matter of: OMNIPLEX World Services Corporation File: B-282630.2 Date: September 22, 1999 Katherine S. Nucci, Esq., and Timothy Sullivan, Esq., Adduci, Mastriani & Schaumberg, for the protester. Scott Godes, Esq., Sheila C. Stark, Esq., and David B. Dempsey, Esq., Piper & Marbury, for Securiguard, Inc., an intervenor. R. David Gale, Esq., Kathy B. Cowley, Esq., and Marleen J. Phillips, Esq., Department of the Navy, for the agency. C. Douglas McArthur, Esq., and Michael R. Golden, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Offeror has the obligation to submit an adequately written proposal, and where proposal was at best ambiguous regarding offeror's understanding of and compliance with solicitation's prohibition against using a uniformed security guard as project manager, determination that protester's proposal was unacceptable without discussions was reasonable and consistent with solicitation. 2. Where, even if General Accounting Office sustained protest against evaluation of awardee's proposal, another offeror whose proposal the agency rated more highly and who proposed a lower price would be in line for award, protester is not an interested party to raise issues concerning evaluation of the awardee. DECISION OMNIPLEX World Services Corporation protests the award of a contract to Securiguard, Inc. under request for proposals (RFP) No. N00600-98-R-1489, issued by the Fleet and Industrial Supply Center (FISC), Department of the Navy, for armed security guard services. OMNIPLEX asserts that the evaluation of its proposal was unreasonable or inconsistent with the criteria set forth in the RFP and protests the agency's decision to make an award based on initial offers. We deny the protest.
