[Request for Reconsideration of Denied Protest of Air Force Contract Award for Custodial Services]

A firm requested reconsideration of its denied protest against an Air Force contract award for custodial services. GAO had held that the Air Force: (1) reasonably determined its needs; (2) did not have to disclose its manpower estimates in the solicitation; and (3) conducted meaningful discussions with the protester. In its request for reconsideration, the protester contended that the Air Force inaccurately calculated its manpower needs, since it improperly used historical data which did not account for recent changes in its buildings. GAO held that the protester merely reiterated arguments it raised in its original protest. Accordingly, the request for reconsideration was denied.
