This redacted version has been approved for public release. Decision Matter of: Comprehensive Health Services, Inc. File: B-294608 Date: December 1, 2004 Cyrus E. Phillips, IV, Esq., for the protester. Helaine G. Elderkin, Esq., Carl J. Peckinpaugh, Esq., and Charles S. McNeish, Esq., for Computer Services Corporation, an intervenor. Scott C. Briles, Esq., Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, for the agency. Jacqueline Maeder, Esq., and John M. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Contracting agency engaged in meaningful discussions concerning adequacy of proposed staffing, such that the protester should have known and understood the agency's concerns, where it advised offeror during oral discussions that protester's labor hours for full time employees were understated. DECISION Comprehensive Health Services, Inc. (CHS) protests the award of a contract to Computer Services Corporation (CSC) under request for proposals (RFP) No. 2004- N-01108, issued by the Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), for occupational health services for CDC employees in the Atlanta, Georgia, area. CHS argues that the agency failed to conduct adequate discussions. We deny the protest. The RFP was synopsized on the Federal Business Opportunities (FedBizOpps) website on January 15, 2004. The RFP contemplated the award of a cost-plus-fixed- fee, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract for a base year, with four 1-year options. In a 34-page statement of work (SOW), the RFP specified that the contractor would be required to provide all personnel, equipment and supplies to operate the CDC Occupational Health Clinics, including occupational medical services, the employee assistance program (EAP), and worksite and health promotion programs.
