Accountability * Integrity * Reliability of the United States United States Government Accountability Office Washington, DC 20548 Decision Matter of: Carahsoft Technology Corporation File: B-297112 Date: November 21, 2005 Frederick W. Claybrook, Jr., Esq., and Edward R. Murray, Esq., Crowell & Moring LLP, for the protester. Barry C. Hansen, Esq., Kristen E. Bucher, Esq., and John Caterini, Esq., Department of Justice, and Sherry Kinland Kaswell, Esq., Department of the Interior, for the agencies. Kenneth L. Kilgour, Esq., and Christine S. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Solicitation for software to computerize employee appraisal process that calls for the same software to be used both agency-wide and for one agency component that requires its own separate, internally-hosted software system is not unduly restrictive of competition where the record shows that the requirement furthers agency's need for efficiency and risk avoidance in its modernization efforts. DECISION Carahsoft Technology Corporation protests the terms of request for quotations (RFQ) No. 1435-04-05-RQ-44166, issued by the Department of the Interior--GovWorks for a web-based executive pay and performance appraisal system (EPPAS) for the Department of Justice (DOJ), Justice Management Division (JMD).' Carahsoft argues that the requirement that the software system be capable of being installed on the agency's internal computer networks is unduly restrictive of competition. We deny the protest. 1 GovWorks is a franchise fund established in the Department of Interior to provide administrative procurement services to federal agencies. DOJ entered into an agreement with GovWorks for procurement support in connection with this acquisition.
