handle is hein.gao/gaocrptaubm0001 and id is 1 raw text is: A G A O Comptroller General . Accountability * Integrity * Reliability of the United States United States Government Accountability Office DOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE Washington, DC 20548 The decision issued on the date below was subject to a GAO Protective Order. No party requested redactions; we are therefore releasing the decision in its entirety. Decision Matter of: Global Solutions Network, Inc. File: B-298682.2 Date: December 10, 2007 Gerald H. Werfel, Esq., Pompan, Murray & Werfel, P.L.C., for the protester. Kristen E. Ittig, Esq., Arnold & Porter LLP, for Accurate Conceptions, LLC, an intervenor. Lt. Col. David P. Harney, and Peter F. Pontzer, Esq., Department of the Army, for the agency. Paul N. Wengert, Esq., and Ralph 0. White, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest alleging that a solicitation does not accurately reflect the agency's needs is denied where the agency disagrees with the protester's contention, and, while acknowledging certain growth in the agency's workload, explains that the growth will be handled by using agency employees to perform some of the additional work, and by increasing reliance on automation. DECISION Global Solutions Network, Inc. (GSN), a small business, protests the conduct of a procurement by the Department of the Army under request for proposals (RFP) No. W91QV1-06-R-0033 for task order management and financial support for the HRsolutions program office. GSN argues that the Army's needs have changed significantly since the submission of proposals, and therefore the RFP, and the proposals submitted, no longer accurately reflect the Army's needs.' 1 GSN filed this protest on September 24, 2007, to challenge an award to Accurate Conceptions. Shortly after the protest was filed, the Army initiated a reevaluation of the proposals, which rendered the challenge to the evaluation of proposals and award academic; we therefore dismissed those grounds of protest. The remaining contention--that the agency's needs have changed since the RFP was first issued-- was not rendered academic as a result of the corrective action. Accordingly, this decision addresses the remaining issue in GSN's protest.
