Decision


Matter of:  Consolidated Safety Services, Inc.

File:       B-418221

Date:       December  30, 2019

Joseph Craver for the protester.
Barbara S. Kinosky, Esq., David R. Warner, Esq., Tyler J. Freiberger, Esq., and
Heather B. Mims, Esq., Center Law and Consulting LLC, for Bastion Technologies, Inc.,
the intervenor.
Grant L. Arnold, Esq., Daniel Hymer, Esq., and Paul H. Kim, Esq., National Aeronautics
and Space Administration, for the agency.
Glenn G. Wolcott, Esq., and Christina Sklarew, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
GAO,  participated in the preparation of the decision.
DIGEST

Agency reasonably assessed a weakness with regard to protester's compensation plan
where protester's proposal specifically stated that the salaries proposed reflected
salaries from a geographic region other than the region where the contract will be
performed.
DECISION

Consolidated Safety Services, Inc. (CSS), of Fairfax, Virginia, protests the National
Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) award of a contract to Bastion
Technologies, Inc., pursuant to request for proposals (RFP) No. 80ARC01 8R0006, to
provide various support services for NASA's Ames Research Center at Moffett Field,
California. CSS asserts that the agency's evaluation of CSS's proposal was flawed
and, based on that assertion, that the best-value tradeoff determination was
unreasonable.

We  deny the protest.

BACKGROUND

In October 2017, the agency issued the RFP, seeking proposals to provide professional
support services related to occupational safety, health and medical services, system
safety, and mission assurance at NASA's Ames Research Center. Agency Report
