This redacted version has been approved for public release. Decision Matter of: S. C. Myers & Associates, Inc. File: B-286297 Date: December 20, 2000 Stephen M. Seeger, Esq., Quagliano & Seeger, for the protester. Stephen R. Jones, Esq., Department of Labor, for the agency. Jennifer D. Westfall-McGrail, Esq., and Christine S. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Where an offeror proposes a particular individual for a key position with the intention of removing that individual from the position after an unspecified transition period under the contract, and the agency relies on the offeror's representation that the individual will be performing the work in evaluating its proposal, the agency reasonably rejected the proposal once the agency learned of the offeror's actual intent. DECISION S. C. Myers & Associates, Inc. (SCMA) protests the rejection of its proposal and the award of a contract to McKissack & McKissack under request for proposals (RFP) No. RFP-DCS-00-08, issued by the Department of Labor for program management services in support of the Job Corps design and construction program. The protester contends that the agency erred in finding its proposal technically unacceptable. We deny the protest. The RFP, which was issued on December 28, 1999 as a total small business 8(a) set-aside, contemplated the award of a cost-plus-fixed-fee contract for a base and 4 option years. Services to be performed included project management and contract administration of design and construction contracts issued by the Department of Labor in support of the Job Corps program; on-site construction management and inspection; assistance in the procurement of furnishings and equipment for new Job Corps facilities; assistance in negotiations for site acquisition and continuing management and disposal of real property used by the Job Corps program; and ADP/LAN support.
