TRG Made A Material Misrepresenzation And Therefore Is Indigible For Award
The solioitation.rtxluired off~-'ors to provid~ ~4_dmacs that 20% of the workforce had approved Level 6 security drarances. NOSLOT l~amed duxiug tim debriefing thai DIA did not wxivc this r~q~t fo~ any off.m-. Howevrr, as axp~ain¢~l infra, TRG did not have ~ work force with the requisite approval security cle~rmces. Rather, on ~form~fion and bdi~f, TRO proposed to use th~ incumbcmt wofkfo~¢. AS
~tefore, TRG could not ibavv truthfully rerpresen~d ~ar it had obtained commitemenm and, therefore, had obtained the reqolslm 20% cleated Level 6 employees, OAO has consistently held that biddars wire m~ke a mat~al misre~eum~a.rlon tn a proposal ars ~lisqualifled from fuxxhcr participation ia the procu[emenz at issue. ,~ee, e.g., Ulu'a Technology Corp,, Comp-Ge~ B-230309.6, gg-1 CPD ¶42 (contra~ should be ~exmi~ted b~c, ause nward~ misrer~resmatexi that i1 h~] received pm~tission r~ include tlw resume of a ~edfivd individ~ml in its proposat), aff'd on r~¢an~idcratian, 89~1 CPD ¶ 528; lnformaticj; 1no,, 57 Carap.

The basis for this rLde is that th~ int~grit-y of the procurmene~ process demands that the contracting o~cer be in a position t~ ~ke the decurncmts contused in an offemr's submissioa ar J~a~ valu=. Wharf dae, re is a material mismpresen~atian, the conrrac~ng officer is no long~r abl~

U.679.05
Deputy Directorate for Administration Request for Continuation of CustodSal Contract
Denise Carter, AE
1. The continuation of the Defense Intelligence Agency Center ('DIAC)'s campus custodial contract is critical to the health, safety, morale and welfare of our work:force population as well as continuity of DIA mission operations. 2. Besides improving the appearance of the DIAC, the DIAC custodial contract.is an essential element of providing internal protection of our employee's health and provides them a safe work environment. Discontinuation or a single day's break in service will result in an estimated one half ton Of refuse build up, over half of which includes food scraps from our DIAC cafeteria. Without custodial contract support, refuse will accumulate and the risk of rodents in our facility exponentially increases. This places our workforce health at risk and potentially impacts mission performance should portions of the building become inaccessible due to health and safety masons. 3. Within the current DIAC facility, we have seventy six restrooms that require daily cleaning and restocking. Without a custodial contract in place, these basic but essential welfare areas will be uninhabitable, The contractor is also responsible for providing basic health items for our work.force such as toilet paper; fungicidal soap and handtowels. Request your support in ensuring custodial contract service remain uninterrupted.
