          DIGEST

          1. Reasonableness of agency's evaluation of offerors' proposed costs or prices is
          governed by the type of contract to be awarded.

          2. Protester's challenge that contracting agency improperly evaluated the prices
          proposed by the selected offeror is denied where the record shows that the
          evaluation was reasonable and consistent with the stated evaluation criteria.
          DECISION

          SAMS  El Segundo, LLC (SES) protests the selection of LA Air Force Base SMC, LLC
          (Kearny) under a request for proposals (RFP) issued by the Space and Missile
          Systems Center (SMC), Air Force Space Command, Department of the Air Force, for
          the Systems Acquisition Management Support (SAMS) project. SES argues that the
          agency's evaluation of Kearny's cost proposal was improper.


          1 SES was alternatively known and referred to during the selection process as Mar
          Ventures. Likewise, LA Air Force Base SMC, LLC, a joint venture comprised of
          Kearny Real Estate Company, Catellus Development Corp., and Morgan Stanley Real
          Estate Fund, was alternatively known and referred to during the selection process as
          Team  SMC, or Kearny.
