DIGEST

Protest challenging the evaluation of the protester's proposal as unacceptable is denied
because the agency reasonably found that one of the protester's proposed key
personnel ceased to be a returning incumbent hire after he had resigned from the
incumbent contract, the protester confirmed that the key person had accepted another
position, left its subcontractor's employ, and had not affirmatively responded to the
protester's offers to negotiate employment.
DECISION

PAE  Applied Technologies, LLC, of Fort Worth, Texas, protests the award of a contract
to Reliance Test & Technology, LLC, of Crestview, Florida, under request for proposals
(RFP) No. N00421-18-R-0038, which was issued by the Department of the Navy, Naval
Air Systems Command,  for technical support services for the Atlantic Test Range (ATR)
and the Atlantic Targets and Marine Operations (ATMO) Division. PAE challenges the
agency's evaluation of proposals and resulting source selection decision.


We  deny the protest.
