This redacted version has been approved for public release. Decision Matter of: Exegistics, Inc. File: B-401690 Date: November 5, 2009 Wayne A. Keup, Esq., Wayne A. Keup, PLLC, for the protester. Adele Ross Vine, Esq., General Services Administration, for the agency. Linda C. Glass, Esq., and Ralph 0. White, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest challenging agency's evaluation of awardee's proposal and agency's determination that awardee's staffing is adequate to meet solicitation requirements is denied, where record shows that agency's evaluation was reasonable and consistent with the solicitation's evaluation factors and where under a fixed-price, performance-based contract, awardee assumes risk if its approach results in higher costs than anticipated. DECISION Exegistics, Inc. of Glenview, Illinois, protests the award of a contract to Superior Services, Inc. (SSI) of Fresno, California, under request for proposals (RFP) No. QSDM-K7-090001-N, issued by the General Services Administration (GSA) for logistics support for the Eastern Distribution Center (EDC) in Burlington, New Jersey. The protester essentially argues that the agency's evaluation of SSI's proposal was not in accordance with the factors set forth in the solicitation. We deny the protest. BACKGROUND The solicitation was issued on February 19, 2009 as a HUBZone set-aside and provided for the award of a performance-based, fixed-price contract for a base period with four 1-year option periods. The EDC's primary mission is to plan, program, manage and execute efficient and effective receiving, storage, and shipping of items handled by GSA. RFP, Performance Work Statement (PWS) at 1.
