Summary

Johnson Controls World Services, Inc. (JCWS) requests that we recommend that it be reimbursed the costs of filing and pursuing its protests of the Department of the Army's decision, made pursuant to Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-76, that it would be more economical to provide base operations support services in-house at the Walter Reed Medical Center in Washington, D.C., than to contract for those services under solicitation No. DADA10-03-R-0001.

We agree, and recommend that JCWS be reimbursed the reasonable costs of filing and pursuing its initial and supplemental protests, including those incurred in pursuing this request.
