          Matter  of:  JRS Management

          File:        B-402650.2

          Date:        June 25, 2010

          Jacqueline Sims, JRS Management, for the protester.
          David B. Cook, Esq., Department of the Navy, for the agency.
          Paula J. Haurilesko, Esq., and Guy R. Pietrovito, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
          GAO,  participated in the preparation of the decision.
          DIGEST

          1. Protest that a solicitation requirement that the contractor have prior experience
          in a correctional setting is unduly restrictive is denied where the agency establishes
          that the requirement is reasonably related to the agency's needs.

          2. Request for quotations seeking a fixed price for services does not impose an
          unreasonable risk upon vendors, where the solicitation does not have an unlimited
          scope of work and provides sufficient information upon which vendors can base
          their price quotations.
          DECISION

          JRS Management,  of Lawrenceville, Georgia, protests the terms of request for
          quotations (RFQ) No. N68836-10-T-0111 issued by the Department of the Navy, Fleet
          and Industrial Supply Center Jacksonville, for a sail loft instructor at the Navy
          Consolidated Brig in Charleston, South Carolina.

          We  deny the protest.

          The Navy  Consolidated Brig is an adult correctional facility that holds up to
          400 prisoners from all branches of the military services to serve sentences for rape,
          murder, and other serious crimes. RFQ at 22. The sail loft, traditionally the place
          where  sails were made, is used to train Brig inmates to produce embroidered,
          upholstered, and other fabric products.

          The solicitation was issued on March 15, 2010, as a small business set-aside. The
          RFQ  contemplates the award of a single year, fixed-price contract to the vendor
