handle is hein.gao/gaocrptaqsd0001 and id is 1 raw text is: A G A O Comptroller General . Accountability * Integrity * Reliability of the United States United States Government Accountability Office DOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE Washington, DC 20548 The decision issued on the date below was subject to a GAO Protective Order. This version of the decision has been approved for public release. Decision Matter of: Creative Information Technology, Inc. File: B-293073.10 Date: March 16, 2005 Dorn C. McGrath III, Esq., and Richard L. Moorehouse, Esq., Greenberg Traurig LLP, for the protester. Richard J. Webber, Esq., and Lisa K. Miller, Esq., Arent Fox PLLC, for Daston Corporation, and Keith J. Harrison, Esq., and Rogelyn D. McLean, Esq., King Pagano & Harrison, for Focused Management, Inc., intervenors. Robert L. Duecaster, Esq., and Capt. Kris M. Gawin, Department of the Army, for the agency. Edward Goldstein, Esq., and Christine S. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Agency's discussions with protester were not meaningful where the agency estimated that the work under the solicitation required seven full-time-equivalent employees (FTE) (which resulted in a government estimate of approximately $13 million), the protester initially proposed to staff the effort with 37 FTEs (which resulted in a price of approximately $110 million) and the agency advised the protester during discussions merely that its price appeared to be overstated. DECISION Creative Information Technology, Inc. (CITI) protests the award of contracts to Daston Corporation and Focused Management, Inc. by the Department of the Army under solicitation No. DASWO1-03-R-0040, for information management/information technology support services to the Army's Information Management Support Center. CITI argues that the Army failed to conduct meaningful discussions. We sustain the protest.
