handle is hein.gao/gaobadvfn0001 and id is 1 raw text is: GO U.S. GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABILITY OFFICE 441 G St. N.W. Comptroller General Washington, DC 20548 of the United States Decision Matter of: Phoenix Management, Inc. File: B-416529.2 Date: November 2, 2018 Johnathan M. Bailey, Esq., and Kristin E. Zachman, Esq., Bailey & Bailey, PC, for the protester. Alexis J. Bernstein, Esq., Lieutenant Colonel Byron Shibata, and Major Michelle Gregory, Department of the Air Force, 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 1. Protest that the terms of a solicitation for furnishings management services are ambiguous is denied where the solicitation terms, including the historical workload data, coupled with the information offerors absorbed during the site visit, provides sufficient information on which offerors can compete intelligently and on a relatively equal basis. 2. Protest that the agency was required to include information from a database which is maintained by the protester is dismissed; the protester cannot show that it has been harmed because the solicitation did not include information the protester already has due to its performance of the incumbent contract. DECISION Phoenix Management, Inc., of Austin, Texas, a service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB), protests the terms of request for proposals (RFP) No. FA301618R0024, issued by the Department of the Air Force for furnishings management services (FMS) at Joint Base San Antonio (JBSA)-Lackland Air Force Base (AFB), San Antonio, Texas. The protester argues that the scope of the solicitation is not adequately defined in a manner to permit offerors to intelligently prepare proposals on an equal basis. Phoenix further argues that the agency failed to include in the solicitation certain additional information, which, in the protester's view, offerors will need to prepare proposals. We deny the protest.
