This redacted version has been D cision ..approved for public release. Matter of. Serco Inc. File: B-406061.1; B-406061.2 Date: February 1, 2012 Marcia G. Madsen, Esq., David F. Dowd, Esq., and Polly A. Myers, Esq., Mayer Brown LLP, for the protester. Paul E. Pompeo, Esq., Kara L. Daniels, Esq., and Steffen G. Jacobson, Esq., Arnold & Porter LLP, for Strategic Resources, Inc., the intervenor. Capt. Michael E. Murray, 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. For purpose of determining GAO jurisdiction over challenge to award of task order, value of option to extend services under clause at Federal Acquisition Regulation § 52.217-8 is included in task order value where value of option was included in total price that agency considered in its task order award determination and where value that offeror may be compensated if option is exercised is evident from task order. 2. Protest that deficiency assigned to protester's proposal for lack of defined support for program support requirements was unreasonable because protester's proposal identified personnel responsible for program support requirements is denied where solicitation instructed offerors to provide level of effort needed to meet solicitation requirements and record reflects that protester's proposal did not specify level of effort for program support requirements. 3. Protest that agency unequally treated protester and awardee by seeking clarification from awardee but not protester is denied because agencies may seek clarification from one offeror and not another and because record reflects that agency concern regarding protester's proposal could not have been addressed without material revision to proposal.
