handle is hein.gao/gaocrptahpo0001 and id is 1 raw text is: oComptroller General of the United States Washington, D.C. 20548 Decision Matter of: Compro Computer Services, Inc. File: B-278651 Date: February 23, 1998 Cyrus E. Phillips, IV, Esq., and Christopher H. Jensen, Esq., Kilcullen, Wilson and Kilcullen, for the protester. Joshua Kranzberg, Esq., and Maj. Harry W. Longbottom, JAGC, Department of the Army, for the agency. Paul E. Jordan, Esq., and Paul Lieberman, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Solicitation provisions requiring contractors to possess certain expertise and experience in computer maintenance do not constitute definitive responsibility criteria--since they do not set out specific, objective standards for determining an offeror's capability to perform--but are performance obligations considered under the contracting officer's general responsibility determination. DECISION Compro Computer Services, Inc. protests the award of a contract to MFSI under request for proposals (RFP) No. DAADO1-97-R-0013, issued by the Department of the Army for maintenance and parts support of computer workstations at the U.S. Army Yuma Proving Ground. Compro contends that MFSJ's proposal should have been rejected because MFSI does not meet certain alleged definitive responsibility criteria contained in the solicitation. We deny the protest. The solicitation, as amended, contemplated award of a fixed-price contract for a base year with 4 option years to provide preventive maintenance services, on-call maintenance services, and parts exchange services for 39 Silicon Graphics, Inc. (SGI) workstations. These computers are used in Yuma's testing and data reduction requirements. The successful contractor is required to provide all necessary parts and personnel to perform the maintenance as required under the terms of the statement of work (SOW).
