For evaluation purposes, the government would use ceiling labor rates and the contractor's site overhead rate to determine the total cost for each proposal.
Offerors' proposed prices/costs would be considered independently of the technical factors and would not of themselves be accorded any specific numerical rating excessively high or low prices might be considered unrealistic and excluded from further consideration. Technical proposals would be evaluated under four equally important evaluation factors, not at issue here, with a maximum possible technical score of 100. The RFP provided that award would be made to the offeror whose proposal was most advantageous to the government, price and other factors considered.

52.222-46, "Evaluation of Compensation for Professional Employees," which, among other things, advises offerors that the agency will evaluate offerors' total compensation plans for the professional employees covered by the solicitation in order to assess the impact of the plan on recruitment and retention of professional employees. The RFP also incorporated by reference the clause at Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Sec. The solicitation stated that the wage determination was not yet available, but would be provided prior to price/cost negotiations. 351-358 (1988), which requires that employees normally be paid at least the minimum hourly wages set forth in Department of Labor (DOL) area wage determinations. The solicitation provided for application of the Service Contract Act of 1965 (SCA), as amended, 41 U.S.C. For the cost-plus-fixed-fee schedules, offerors were to propose ceiling unburdened hourly rates for each labor category, reflecting salary and fringe benefits, as well as ceiling indirect cost rates. For the fixed-price schedules, offerors were to propose fully burdened, fixed-price, hourly rates for each labor category, reflecting all direct costs indirect costs and profit. For each contract year, the solicitation contained one schedule for the fixed-price delivery orders and one schedule for the cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery orders, as well as estimated hours for each labor category. The solicitation was issued on August 27, 1993, and anticipated award of an indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity contract with provisions for both fixed-price and cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery orders over a 1-year base period with up to 4 option years. This solicitation contemplates a contract to provide support in moving these systems to an open systems environment and then integrating the systems, as well as to provide ongoing operation, maintenance, and enhancement support to the system during and after the moving process.

We deny the protest in part and dismiss it in part. Calibre argues that the agency improperly evaluated VGS's cost proposal, and failed to fulfill its responsibilities under the Service Contract Act. GSC-KEG-B9319, issued by the General Services Administration (GSA) for conversion and sustainment engineering services in support of, among other things, the Department of the Army's Force Builder Decision Support System Project. protests the award of a contract to VGS, Inc., under request for proposals (RFP) No. Protester is not an interested party to assert that the contracting agency failed to fulfill its responsibilities under the Service Contract Act where the protester would not be in line for award even if the allegations were correct. Protest that contracting agency improperly evaluated awardee's cost proposal is denied where proposal was evaluated in accordance with the evaluation method set forth in the solicitation and the protester has not provided any basis to find the contracting agency's determinations unreasonable.
