File: B-278352 Date: December 15, 1997 Edward V. Gregorowicz, Jr., Esq., and Frederick P. fink, Esq., for the protester. James K Kearney, Esq., Scott D. Chaplin, Esq., and Theodore W. Atkinson, Esq., Reed Smith Shaw & McClay, for RGII Technologies, Inc., an intervenor. Kimberly A. Kegowicz, Esq., U.S. Coast Guard, for the agency. Henry J. Gorczycki, Esq., and Guy R. Pietrovito, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST In a negotiated procurement for services, a proposal that offers personnel that do not satisfy the solicitation's personnel qualification requirements is unacceptable and may not properly form the basis for award. DECISION For Your Information, Inc. (FYI) protests the award of a contract to RGII Technologies, Inc. under request for proposals (RFP) No. DTCG23-97-R-HRMOO1, issued by the U.S. Coast Guard for information technology support services. FYI contends that RGII's proposal did not satisfy the RFP's personnel qualification requirements and was unacceptable. We sustain the protest. The RFP provided for the award of an indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contract with fixed-price, hourly labor rates on a best value basis. Offerors were informed that the procurement would be conducted as a two-phased competition, restricted to small business concerns certified under the Small Business Administration's section 8(a) program. Phase I was stated to be less important than phase II. Under phase I, the agency would evaluate mini-proposals and past performance, and advise offerors of their chances of receiving award. Under phase II, proposals would be evaluated under the following factors, listed in descending order of importance: oral presentation/slides,1 personnel data forms (PDF), and cost/price. The phase II technical evaluation factors together were stated to be significantly more important than cost/price. 'A number of evaluation subcriteria were identified under the oral presentation factor.
