                                                      GAO Protective Order. This redacted version has been

          Decision

          Matter of: SAGE Systems Technologies, LLC

          File:        B-310155

          Date:        November 29, 2007

          William K. Walker, Esq., Walker Reausaw, for the protester.
          Ralph G. Bittelari, Esq., Department of Justice, for the agency.
          Nora K. Adkins, Esq., and James Spangenberg, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
          GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
          DIGEST

          The agency properly accepted the awardee's proposal that employed a particular
          labor category to perform service contract work, where it did not violate any
          solicitation provisions; contention that the use of the proposed labor category would
          violate the Service Contract Act will not be considered by GAO because it is a matter
          for consideration by the Department of Labor.

          pertaining to the manufacturing, dealing, and importing of ammunition, implements
          of war, explosives, and firearms. The RFP's statement of work identified such
          typical contract tasks as screening forms and documents; entering and retrieving
          data; processing hard and soft mail; monitoring and controlling facsimile
          communications; photocopying; operating and monitoring various office machines;
          updating and printing reports; and coordinating, assembling and mailing packages
          required under the contract. The offerors were informed through the RFP's
