Matter of:   Repaintex Company

File:        B-415390.4; B-415390.5

Date:        June 21, 2018

Megan C. Connor, Esq., Julia Di Vito, Esq., and Timothy F. Valley, Esq., Piliero Mazza
PLLC, for the protester.
Claire A. Watkins, Esq., General Services Administration, for the agency.
Kenneth Kilgour, Esq., and Laura Eyester, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO,

DIGEST

Protest that terms of solicitation for cleaning services inaccurately state the agency's
requirements is denied where the agency provided a detailed explanation of its
cleanable square footage calculation and the protester has not provided a comparable
explanation of its calculation; moreover, the protester, the incumbent contractor, has not
demonstrated that it was prejudiced by any miscalculation of the requirement.
DECISION

Repaintex Company, of Leesburg, Virginia, protests the terms of request for proposals
(RFP) No. GS-1 1-P-1 7-ZG-D-0005, issued by the General Services Administration
(GSA) for custodial and related services at two Federal Aviation Administration
buildings. The protester asserts that the RFP's square footage requirement is
significantly understated.

We deny the protest.

BACKGROUND

The solicitation sought proposals for the issuance of a fixed-price contract, with a 1-year
base period and four 1-year options, to the firm with the lowest-priced offer whose
proposal is evaluated as acceptable under the two equally-weighted evaluation factors:
corporate experience and past performance. Agency Report (AR), Exh. D, RFP
at 12, 145-49. The estimated value of the 5-year requirement is $12,830,807.56. AR,
Exh. 0, Acquisition Plan Information at 1. Repaintex is the incumbent contractor.
