handle is hein.gao/gaocrptacef0001 and id is 1 raw text is: Comptroller General of the United States Washington, D.C. 20548 Decision Matter of: RSI Realty Services, Inc. File: B-262238 Date: December 12, 1995 Robert W. Howells for the protester. Arnette L. Georges, Esq., for the Department of Housing and Urban Development, for the agency. John L. Formica, Esq., and James A. Spangenberg, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Agency's waiver of definitive responsibility criterion, set forth in solicitation for real estate acquisition management services to require that offerors possess a valid real estate brokers license prior to award, is unobjectionable where the requirement overstated the agency's actual needs, the agency's needs can be met through award to an offeror which did not satisfy the requirement but acquired the license shortly after award, and there is no reasonable possibility of prejudice to other offerors. DECISION RSI Realty Services, Inc. (RSI) protests the award of a contract to CitiWest Properties, Inc. under request for proposals (RFP) No. H02R950642, issued by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), for real estate asset management (REAM) services. RSI argues that CitiWest should not have received award because it did not have a New Jersey real estate broker license as of the time of award, as required by the solicitation. We deny the protest. The RFP provided for the award of a firm, fixed-price, indefinite quantity contract for the performance of REAM services in Atlantic, Cape May, Cumberland, Ocean and Salem counties, New Jersey. The contractor will be responsible for preserving and protecting single family properties until the units are sold to the public or accepted by nonprofit organizations. The RFP provided that award would be made to the responsible offeror whose offer, conforming to the solicitation, was determined most advantageous to the government, cost and other factors considered. The agency issued four amendments to the solicitation, with amendment No. 004 adding the following: 325126
