This redacted version has been approved for public release. Decision Matter of: Integrity Management Services, hie. File: B-283094.2 Date: May 3, 2000 Katherine S. Nucci, Esq., Adduci, Mastriani & Schaumberg, for the protester. Maj. Howard W. Roth, III, Department of the Army; and Laura J. Mann, Esq., Small Business Administration, for the agencies. Jennifer D. Westfall-Mc Grail, Esq., and Christine S. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. General Accounting Office will not consider protest that Small Business Administration (SBA) failed to consider vital information bearing on awardee's responsibility in issuing it a certificate of competency where the allegedly vital information does not concern awardee's compliance with a definitive responsibility criterion. 2. Contracting officer reasonably determined that awardee's pricing demonstrated an understanding of the solicitation's requirements and supported its proposed approach based on comparison of awardee's proposed staffing and overall price to government estimates. DECISION Integrity Management Services, Inc. protests the award of a contract to PCT Services, Inc. under request for proposals (RFP) No. DABT57-98-R-0050, issued by the Department of the Army for hospital housekeeping services for various medical facilities located at Forts Eustis, Lee, Monroe and Story in Virginia. The contract was awarded to PCT after the Small Business Administration (SBA) issued it a certificate of competency (COC). The protester contends that in issuing the COC the SBA failed to consider vital information bearing on PCT's responsibility. The protester also argues that the agency failed to conduct an adequate price realism analysis. We deny the protest.
