Comptroller General Washington, DC 20548 of the United States Decision Matter of: Caduceus Healthcare, Inc. File: B-414965; B-414965.2 Date: November 1,2017 LaChandra Pye, Esq., Caduceus Healthcare, Inc., for the protester. Joseph M. Barbato, Esq., Department of Homeland Security, for the agency. Katherine I. Riback, Esq., and Amy B. Pereira, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest challenging solicitation requirements as unduly restrictive of competition is denied where the agency articulated reasonable related basis for the requirements. DECISION Caduceus Healthcare, Inc., of Atlanta, Georgia, protests the terms of request for proposals (RFP) No. HSBP1017R0029, issued by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), for support services to meet a nationwide recruitment and hiring of frontline employees. Caduceus argues that the RFP contains terms that are unduly restrictive of competition. We deny the protest.' BACKGROUND CBP, a component within the DHS, is the nation's largest federal law enforcement agency charged, in part, with securing the nation's borders. Agency Memorandum of Law (MOL) at 1. On January 25, 2017, in Executive Order 13767, Border Security and 1 Our Office did not issue a protective order in connection with this protest because one was not requested by the parties. A full version of the agency report was provided to our Office, while a redacted version of the report was furnished to the protester. We have reviewed the entire unredacted record in camera. Therefore our discussion of the independent government cost estimate (IGCE) is necessarily limited.
