This redacted version has been approved for public release. Decision Matter of: DynCorp Technical Services LLC File: B-284833.3; B-284833.4 Date: July 17, 2001 Carl J. Peckinpaugh, Esq., and Charles S. McNeish, Esq., DynCorp Technical Services LLC, for the protester. Sharon A. Jenks, Esq., Gregory H. Petkoff, Esq., and Maj. Deborah L. Collins, Department of the Air Force, for the agency. Guy R. Pietrovito, Esq., and James A. Spangenberg, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest challenging a cost comparison conducted pursuant to Office of Management and Budget Circular No. A-76 is sustained, where the agency did not consider the cost of government-furnished material as a common cost item, as it should have, but accepted the in-house cost estimate, which deducted the value of government-furnished material to be supplied to the winner of the competition, and did not adjust the protester's proposal for a cost-reimbursement contract, which did not deduct the value of the government-furnished material. 2. In a negotiated procurement conducted pursuant to Office of Management and Budget Circular No. A-76, in which the private-sector offer was to be selected on the basis of a cost/technical tradeoff, and where the solicitation encouraged offerors to exceed the solicitation's minimum performance schedule, the agency improperly failed to ensure that the in-house cost estimate and the protester's offer were based upon the same scope of work and performance standards, where the protester proposed an accelerated performance schedule, which exceeded the minimum requirements and contributed to the protester's selection as the offeror to compete against the agency's most efficient organization (MEO), and the MEO proposed to satisfy the minimum performance schedule requirements.
