Matter of: Bannum, Inc. File: B-407079.2; B-407079.3 Date: July 14, 2015 Justin T. Huffman, Esq., Nancy M. Camardo, Esq., and Joseph A. Camardo, Jr., Esq., Camardo Law Firm, PC, for the protester. Alexander B. Ginsberg, Esq., and Alex Tomaszczuk, Esq., Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman LLP, for Dismas Charities, Inc., the intervenor. Sarah Bloom, Esq., and William D. Robinson, Esq., Bureau of Prisons, for the agency. Kenneth Kilgour, Esq., and David A. Ashen, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest that awardee does not meet solicitation's definitive responsibility criterion for residential reentry center zoning approval is denied where record shows contracting officer reasonably determined awardee satisfied this criterion. DECISION Bannum, Inc., of Odessa, Florida, protests the Bureau of Prison's (BOP) award of a contract to Dismas Charities, Inc., of Louisville, Kentucky, under request for proposals (RFP) No. 200-1179-MA, for the operation of a residential reentry center (RRC) in West Virginia.' Bannum argues that the agency unreasonably waived a material solicitation requirement for Dismas. We deny the protest. 1 BOP provides certain federal offenders an opportunity to serve the final months of their sentences in residential reentry centers (RRC) in order to ease their reintegration into society. Rather than operate the RRCs itself, BOP typically procures RRC services from private contractors. Agency Report (AR) at 2.
