Limitation on User Access Too Restrictive for Agency’s Taste; GAO B-415343, OST Inc.

Protest challenging the evaluation of protester’s proposal is denied, where the agency was reasonably concerned that the protester’s plan to limit employee system access was too restrictive and could reduce information sharing and collaboration, and where the agency was reasonably concerned that the protester’s staffing approach would lead to high levels of turnover and failed to provide the right level of staffing and mix of skills for the tasks.
