Accountability * Integrity * Reliability of the United States United States Government Accountability Office Washington, DC 20548 Decision Matter of: Vador Ventures, Inc. File: B-296394, B-296394.2 Date: August 5, 2005 Richard D. Lieberman, Esq., McCarthy, Sweeney & Harkaway, PC, for the protester. James H. Roberts, Esq., Carrol H. Kinsey, Esq., Van Scoyoc Kelly PLLC, for Odoi Associates, Inc., an intervenor. Kathleen M. McCartney, Esq., General Services Administration, for the agency. Peter D. Verchinski, Esq., and David A. Ashen, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest that awardee's proposed key personnel do not meet solicitation's definitive responsibility criteria requiring experience managing or supervising the operation of an 800,000 square foot building is denied where the agency has reasonably determined that experience of awardee's personnel with two buildings (totaling 971,425 square feet), operated in major respects as one building, and having integrated systems with equipment sized to operate the two buildings together, satisfied the requirements. DECISION Vador Ventures, Inc. protests the General Services Administration's (GSA) award of a contract to Odoi Associates, Inc., under invitation for bids (IFB) No. GS11P04YED0224, for building management services. Vador principally asserts that award to Odoi was improper becase Odoi failed to meet the definitive responsibility criteria set forth in the solicitation. We deny the protest. The IFB, issued as a section 8(a) set-aside, contemplated the award of a fixed-price contract for an initial period of one year, with 4 option years, for commercial facility management services, including operation and maintenance services, elevator maintenance services, and custodial services, at the Postal Square Building, 2 Massachusetts Avenue, NE, Washington, D.C. The IFB stated that award would be made to the lowest-priced, responsive, responsible bidder.
