handle is hein.gao/gaobadrhj0001 and id is 1 raw text is: G A O Comptroller General Accountability * Integrity * Reliability of the United States United States Government Accountability Office Washington, DC 20548 Decision Matter of: Olympus Building Services, Inc. File: B-411474; B-411474.2; B-411474.3 Date: July 30, 2015 Ruth E. Ganister, Esq., Rosenthal and Ganister, LLC, for the protester. Cheryl A. Smith, Esq., Department of Defense Education Activity, for the agency. Mary G. Curcio, Esq., and David A. Ashen, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest that solicitation for custodial services for schools does not require specific experience providing janitorial and custodial services for schools is dismissed as GAO will not consider protests that solicitations should be made more restrictive. 2. Protest that solicitation requires an inadequate number of custodians (two) per shift is denied where protester has misinterpreted the solicitation; while the solicitation indicates that a proposal will be rated unacceptable if it does not include at least two custodians at each school per shift, the solicitation further provides that to be deemed acceptable, a proposal must include a sufficient, detailed plan, including sufficient personnel, to perform all of the requirements of the performance work statement in a timely manner. 3. Protest that award should be based on the best value to the government rather than on the basis of the lowest-priced, technically acceptable proposal is denied where the agency reasonably determined that it could meet its needs using the later approach. DECISION Olympus Building Services, Inc., of Tempe, Arizona, protests the terms of request for proposals (RFP) No. HEVAS6-15-R-0001, issued by the Department of Defense Education Activity, Domestic Dependent Elementary and Secondary Schools, for janitorial and custodial services at the Fort Campbell School System in Kentucky. We deny the protest in part and dismiss it in part.
