Washington, DC 20548                                   The decision issued on the date below was subject to a
                                                       GAO Protective Order. This redacted version has been

          Decision

          Matter  of:  Jantec, Inc.

          File:        B-292668; B-292668.2

          Date:        November  6, 2003

          Richard B. Oliver, Esq., McKenna Long & Aldridge, for the protester.
          Brian Koji, Esq., Allen, Norton & Blue, for Call Henry, Inc., an intervenor.
          Maj. Brent Curtis, Department of the Air Force, for the agency.
          Jennifer D. Westfall-McGrail, Esq., and Christine S. Melody, Esq., Office of the
          General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
          DIGEST

          1. Evaluators reasonably rated protester as very good/significant confidence under
          predictive preventative maintenance (PPM) past performance subelement where
          references reported that protester had not performed PPM and rated its performance
          for maintenance management  generally as very good or satisfactory.

          2. Evaluators reasonably determined that awardee had proposed an adequate level
          of staffing where awardee proposed innovations in its approach to the work that
          reduced the staffing required.

          3. Awardee  did not improperly condition its offer by stating that if its health
          insurance costs increased significantly, it would ask the government to consider
          adjusting the contract price to reflect the extra cost, since the awardee's reservation
          of the right to request an adjustment did not obligate the government to grant the
          request.

          4. Awardee  did not improperly condition its offer by expressing confidence that it
          would be able to perform using the level of staffing that it had derived based on the
          workload  data furnished in the solicitation.
          DECISION
