handle is hein.gao/gaobadbdj0001 and id is 1 raw text is: G A 0 Comptroller General 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: ITT Corporation, Systems Division File: B-310102.6; B-310102.7; B-310102.8; B-310102.9 Date: December 4, 2009 Kevin P. Connelly, Esq., Joseph J. Dyer, Esq., Grace Bateman, Esq., Amanda B. Weiner, Esq., and Joshua C. Drewitz, Esq., Seyfarth Shaw LLP, for the protester. J. Alex Ward, Esq., Edward Jackson, Esq., Damien C. Specht, Esq., and Caroline A. Keller, Esq., Jenner & Block LLP, for Readiness Management Support, L.C., the intervenor. James L. Yohn, II, Esq., and Mark Christopher, Esq., Department of the Navy, the agency. John L. Formica, Esq., and James A. Spangenberg, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the decision. DIGEST 1. Agency's favorable consideration of the awardee's experience and performance of the predecessor contract for air traffic control, airfield management, and air traffic control and landing systems operation and maintenance services in Southwest Asia, and specifically in Iraq and Afghanistan, is unobjectionable, where the solicitation specifically provided that experience in performing the same services in the same location would be considered more valuable than experience in other geographic areas. 2. Since the prime contractor is ultimately responsible for successful performance of a contract effort, the agency's evaluation of the awardee's proposal under the solicitation's corporate experience and past performance factors reasonably credited the awardee, the incumbent prime contractor on the predecessor contract, with relevant work and experience, even though a subcontractor on the predecessor contract actually performed much of the relevant work. 3. Agency conducted meaningful discussions, and reasonably determined that certain aspects of the protester's proposal posed risk, where the agency brought the concerns underlying its assessment of risk to the protester's attention during discussions.
