Accountability * Integrity * Reliability of the United States United States Government Accountability Office Washington, DC 20548 Decision Matter of: Johnson Controls World Services, Inc. File: B-295529.2; B-295529.3 Date: June 27, 2005 David R. Johnson, Esq., Amanda J. Kastello, Esq., and Amy R. Napier, Esq., Vinson & Elkins, for the protester. Maj. Gregg A. Engler and Capt. Joseph Fratarcangeli, Department of the Army, for the agency. Ralph 0. White, Esq., and Christine S. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST In the context of a cost comparison study of base operation services conducted pursuant to Office of Management and Budget Circular A-76, a decision by the agency's Independent Review Official to withdraw its certification that the agency's plan for performing the services includes all of the required costs associated with in- house performance renders academic a protest alleging that the agency's cost estimate for performing the work in-house failed to include all required costs. DECISION Johnson Controls World Services, Inc. (JCWS)' protests the decision by the Department of the Army, pursuant to Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-76, that it would be more economical to provide base operations support services in-house at the Walter Reed Medical Center in Washington, D.C., rather than contract for those services pursuant to solicitation No. DADA1-03-R-0001. JCWS argues that the cost estimate based on the Army's plan for performing this work, which was used to compare the cost of in-house versus contractor performance, failed to include all of the costs required for performance. 'JCWS changed its name to IAP World Services, Inc., effective March 30, 2005. Since the proposal was submitted under the name JCWS, and this protest was initially filed under that name, this decision will refer to the company as JCWS, rather than lAP.
