Awardee’s Plan to Hire Subcontractor Personnel Satisfies Commitment to Provide Construction Management Services With In-House Staff; COFC No. 15-914C, Caddell Construction Company v. The United States

Protest challenging the agency’s evaluation of the awardee’s management plan is denied, where the agency reasonably accepted the awardee’s explanation that a second firm proposed as a team member in its initial proposal would actually serve as a subcontractor with no role in contract management, and where the awardee informed the agency of its plan to hire subcontractor personnel as part of its commitment to provide on-site management with in-house employees, and where the solicitation specified management positions that must be staffed on-site but did not set forth any requirements for home office staff, and where the awardee would perform all on-site management tasks and therefore would be in compliance with the limitation on subcontracting.
