Comptroller General Washington, DC 20548 of the United States DOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE Decision The decision issued on the date below was subject to a GAO Protective Order. This redacted version has been approved for public release. Matter of: Probity, Inc. File: B-420210 Date: December 21, 2021 Kevin T. Carroll, Esq., John M. Doroghazi, Esq., and Sarah E. York, Esq., Wiggin & Dana, LLP, for the protester. J. Scott Hommer III, Esq., Christopher Griesedieck, Esq., Rebecca Pearson, Esq., and Taylor Hillman, Esq., Venable LLP, for Peraton, Inc., the intervenor. Dana Koffman, Esq., and Ashley Powers, Esq., Central Intelligence Agency, for the agency. Heather Weiner, Esq., and Edward Goldstein, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protester's challenge of its unacceptable rating is denied where agency reasonably found that one of the protester's proposed key personnel did not meet solicitation's experience requirements. DECISION Probity, Inc., of Herndon, Virginia, protests the award of a contract to Peraton, Inc., also of Herndon, Virginia, under request for proposals (RFP) No. 2021-20110900001 S, issued by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), for data management services. Probity argues that the agency unreasonably concluded that one its proposed key personnel did not meet the solicitation's experience requirements, resulting in the improper rejection of its proposal as ineligible for award. We deny the protest. BACKGROUND The RFP seeks a contractor to manage data collected for intelligence reporting. Memorandum of Law (MOL) at 1 (citing Contracting Officer's Statement (COS) at 1).1 1 Because the agency report contains classified information, citations in this decision are to the parties' pleadings, rather than directly to the record. We have reviewed the record, however, to verify that the citations in the pleadings accurately reflect the record.
