This redacted version has been approved for public release. Decision Matter of: Johnson Controls World Services, Inc. File: B-288636; B-288636.2 Date: November 23, 2001 Stuart B. Nibley, Esq., Joseph J. Dyer, Esq., and Robert F. Pezzimenti, Esq., Seyfarth Shaw, for the protester. Raymond M. Saunders, Esq., Maj. Howard Roth, and Capt. Ryan M. Zipf, Department of the Army, for the agency. Aldo A. Benejam, Esq., and Christine S. Melody, 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 and alleging that the supporting management study failed to directly compare all of the positions identified in the agency's most efficient organization with the labor force at the start of the study is denied, since there is no legal requirement for such a detailed, position-by-position comparison. 2. Protest challenging agency decision to retain in-house logistics and public works functions as a result of a cost comparison conducted pursuant to Office of Management and Budget Circular No. A-76 and alleging that agency improperly failed to include costs for all of the personnel required to meet the requirements of the performance work statement (PWS), is denied, where the record provides no basis to question the reasonableness of the agency's finding that the government's most efficient organization had identified and costed all positions necessary to meet PWS requirements. DECISION Johnson Controls World Services, Inc. (JCWSI) protests the decision of the Department of the Army to retain logistics and public works functions at Fort Jackson, South Carolina in-house, rather than to contract for these services under request for proposals (RFP) No. DABT60-99-R-0015. The Army decided to retain the services in-house based on the results of a cost comparison conducted pursuant to Office of Management and Budget Circular No. A-76, which compared JCWSI's proposal to perform the work against the government's in-house management plan.
