This redacted version has been approved for public release. Decision Matter of: Wackenhut International, Inc. File: B-286193.2 Date: May 18, 2001 Richard J. Webber, Esq., and Matthew S. Perlman, Esq., Arent Fox Kintner Plotkin & Kahn, for the protester. Hugh O'Neill, Esq., for U.S. Defense Systems, Inc./Armor Group, an intervenor. Dennis J. Gallagher, Esq., Department of State, for the agency. Susan K. McAuliffe, Esq., and Christine S. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest of evaluation of offerors' compensation plans is denied where evaluation was reasonable and consistent with solicitation terms. DECISION Wackenhut International, Inc. protests the award of a contract to U.S. Defense Systems, Inc./Armor Group (USDS) under request for proposals (RFP) No. SOTH200- 99-R-0001, issued by the Department of State for guard services at the American Embassy in Bangkok, Thailand. Wackenhut challenges the adequacy of the agency's evaluation of the offerors' compensation plans performed in response to our decision of December 11, 2000, in which we sustained Wackenhut's earlier protest of the agency's failure to properly review the plans prior to award.' We deny the protest. The RFP, issued on September 27, 1999, contemplated the award of a time-and- materials contract, with fixed prices for vehicles and equipment, for a base year and 1 In that decision, we concluded that the agency failed to perform any review of the plans comparative to wages paid under the incumbent contract, as required by the RFP. Accordingly, we sustained the protest and recommended that the agency conduct an adequate evaluation of the plans consistent with the RFP. Wackenhut Int'l, Inc., B-286193, Dec. 11, 2000, 2001 CPD 8 at 7-9.
