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 redacted version has been approved for public release. Decision Matter of: Serco, Inc. File: B-298266 Date: August 9, 2006 Claude P. Goddard, Jr., Esq., Stephen B. Hurlbut, Esq., J. Michael Littlejohn, Esq., and Daniel J. Donohue, Esq., Akerman Senterfitt Wickwire Gavin, for the protester. James J. McCullough, Esq., Deneen J. Melander, Esq., and Steven A. Alerding, Esq., Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson LLP, for AMSEC LLC, an intervenor. Michael S. Roys, Esq., Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command, Department of the Navy, for the agency. Paul N. Wengert, Esq., and Michael R. Golden, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest is sustained where the agency rejected the awardee's rationale for proposed staffing levels under sample tasks, which led the agency, as part of a cost realism analysis, to more than double the hours proposed by the awardee to correspond with the government estimate, but the contemporaneous record did not demonstrate that the agency, in light of its cost realism adjustment, reviewed the awardee's understanding of the contract requirements, as required by the solicitation. DECISION Serco, Inc. protests the award of a contract to AMSEC LLC under request for proposals (RFP) No. N65236-05-R-0501, issued by the Department of the Navy, Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command, for program management, engineering design, industrial work, operational verification and other installation support services necessary to accomplish the Navy's command, control, communications, computer, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaisance maintenance, modernization, and new system installation for requirements on the West Coast.' Serco objects that the Navy failed to consider the potential impact of the Navy's cost adjustments in the technical evaluation of AMSEC's proposal. 1 The solicitation also resulted in the award of a separate contract for requirements on the East Coast which is not at issue in this protest.
