DOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE
The decision issued on the date below was subject to
Decision                           a GAO Protective Order. This version has been
approved for public release.
Matter of:  Peraton Inc.
File:     B-416916.12; B-416916.13
Date:     May 28, 2021
J. Scott Hommer, III, Esq., Rebecca E. Pearson, Esq., Christopher G. Griesedieck,
Esq., Taylor A. Hillman, Esq., and Lindsay M. Reed, Esq., Venable, LLP, for the
protester.
Paul F. Khoury, Esq., Brian G. Walsh, Esq., Cara L. Lasley, Esq., Lindy C. Bathurst,
Esq., and Nicholas L. Perry, Esq., Wiley Rein LLP, for ManTech Advanced Systems
International, Inc., the intervenor.
Tudo N. Pham, Esq., Department of State, for the agency.
Michael Willems, Esq., and Edward Goldstein, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
DIGEST
1. Protest alleging awardee's proposal contained bait and switch material
misrepresentation is dismissed where the protester concedes that the awardee's
proposed key personnel are currently employed by the awardee, and failed to allege
facts establishing that the awardee lacked a reasonable basis to expect to furnish those
key personnel.
2. Protest alleging a task order exceeds the scope of the underlying contract is
dismissed as untimely when the terms of the solicitation established that any task order
issued would have exceeded the scope of the underlying contract, and the protester did
not challenge this solicitation defect before the next time for closing time for receipt of
submissions.
DECISION
Peraton, Inc., of Herndon, Virginia, challenges the issuance of a task order to ManTech
Advanced Systems International, Inc., of Herndon, Virginia under solicitation No.
19AQMM18R0065. The task order was issued through the National Institutes of Health
CIO-SP3 governmentwide acquisition contract, for server and software deployment
services for the Department of State's Office of Consular Systems and Technology.
Peraton argues ManTech's proposal contained material misrepresentations, and the
task order cannot be issued to any competitor because it exceeds the scope of the
underlying contract.
