This redacted version has been approved for public release. Decision Matter of: MPRI, Inc. File: B-289401 Date: February 20, 2002 Harvey Sherzer, Esq., Scott Arnold, Esq., Joe R. Reeder, Esq., and Neil E. Richman, Esq., Greenberg Traurig, for the protester. Lee P. Curtis, Esq., and Suzette W. Derrevere, Esq., Perkins Coie, and Terrence Murphy, Esq., Patrick H.

Lind, and Col. Michael R. Neds, Department of the Army, for the agency. Paul E. Jordan, Esq., and John M. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest that agency improperly failed to consider awardee's lower proposed fringe benefits in determining whether price proposal reflected management plan proposal to hire incumbent employees, is denied where source selection authority was aware of protester's higher fringe benefits and reasonably concluded that difference was not significant because awardee's overall proposed compensation, while lower than protester's, was comparable. DECISION MPRI, Inc. protests the award of a contract to Communication Technologies, Inc. (COMTek) under request for proposals (RFP) No. DABT60-01-R-0002, issued by the Department of the Army for Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) functional support. MPRI challenges the evaluation of COMTek's proposal. The RFP sought proposals to provide nationwide specialized support in the functional areas of ROTC instruction, cadet recruiting, retention and training, administration, ROTC field training, and administrative and logistical services. Services included the provision of staff officers, assistant professors of military science (APMS), and enlisted instructors. Based on the prior history of performance, the agency anticipated a requirement of some 363 personnel at 220 institutions. The RFP contemplated the award of a fixed-price requirements contract for a base year, with 4 option years.
