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: Carahsoft Technology Corporation; Allied Technology Group File: B-311241; B-311241.2 Date: May 16, 2008 Frederick W. Claybrook, Jr., Esq., Angela B. Styles, Esq., and James Peyster, Esq., Crowell & Moring LLP, for the protesters. Kristen M. Nowadly, Esq., General Services Administration, for the agency. Paul N. Wengert, Esq., and Ralph 0. White, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protests are sustained where, in a competition for human resources services Federal Supply Schedule contracts, the contemporaneous record fails to adequately document the basis for the agency's decision to exclude compensation management services from the awards made to the protesters, and the agency's explanation of its reasoning, in its responses to the protests, is inconsistent with the limited contemporaneous record. DECISION Carahsoft Technology Corporation and Allied Technology Group protest the decision not to include services for compensation management in the award of Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) contract modifications to each of them by the General Services Administration (GSA) under request for proposals (RFP) No. 2FYA-AR-060004-B for human resources and equal employment opportunity services worldwide. The protesters object that GSA unreasonably excluded ' We recognize that this protest relates to the modification of the protesters' existing FSS contracts, and that usually contract modifications are matters of contract administration beyond the review of our bid protest function. Here, however, the modification involves significant changes to the scope of the existing FSS contracts, and these requirements have been procured in an open competition under an RFP. In addition, GSA has not disputed our jurisdiction to decide these protests. In fact, another offeror, whose situation is not otherwise relevant to the protest, did not previously hold one of these FSS contracts and received a new contract as a result of this competition.
