This redacted version has been D cision ..approved for public release. Matter of: Applied Business Management Solutions Incorporated, LLC File: B-405724 Date: December 15, 2011 Antonio R. Franco, Esq., and Kathryn V. Flood, Esq., PilieroMazza PLLC, for the protester. Keith L. Baker, Esq., and Bryan R. King, Esq., Barton Baker Thomas & Tolle, LLP, for TK Services, LLC, the intervenor. Tina Marie Pixler, Esq., Department of the Army, for the agency. Matthew T. Crosby, Esq., and Sharon L. Larkin, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest that agency improperly accepted awardee's plan to hire incumbent personnel based on claim that personnel will be unavailable is denied where there is no significant countervailing evidence reasonably known to agency that should or did create doubt as to accuracy of awardee's representations regarding hiring plan. 2. Allegation that agency failed to conduct price reasonableness analysis based on claim that awardee's price was unrealistically low fails to state valid basis for protest where solicitation provided for award of fixed-price contract and did not provide for price realism analysis. 3. Protest that agency misevaluated protester's proposal is denied where record reasonably supports evaluation and protester's arguments reflect mere disagreement with agency judgments. DECISION Applied Business Management Solutions Incorporated, LLC, of Largo, Maryland, protests the award of a contract by the Department of the Army to TK Services, LLC, of Alexandria, Virginia, under request for proposals (RFP) No. W91ZLK-1 l-R-0004 for logistics and facilities services at the Edgewood Chemical and Biological Center (Edgewood Center) in Harford County, Maryland.
