This redacted version has been approved for public release. Decision Matter of: AHNTECH, Inc. File: B-299806 Date: August 15, 2007 Leigh T. Hansson, Esq., and Gregory S. Jacobs, Esq., Reed Smith, LLP, for the protester. Brent Curtis, Esq., Department of the Air Force, for the agency. Kenneth Kilgour, Esq., and Christine S. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest challenging agency's evaluation of technical proposals is denied where the record establishes that the evaluation was reasonable and consistent with the evaluation criteria. 2. Agency did not rely on unstated evaluation criteria when it excluded protester's proposal from further consideration for award based on deficiencies found under one technical subfactor and where the solicitation expressly provided that proposals would be rejected in this circumstance. DECISION AHNTECH, Inc. protests the agency's evaluation of its proposal under request for proposals (RFP) No. F38604-07-R-CO22-01, issued by the Department of the Air Force for base operations support (BOS) services to Manas Air Base (AB), Kyrgyzstan. AHNTECH alleges that the Air Force improperly evaluated AHNTECH's proposal as not technically acceptable under one of the evaluation subfactors; treated offerors unequally by attributing deficiencies to AHNTECH's proposal for concerns that were identified as weaknesses in more highly rated proposals; and relied on unstated evaluation criteria by excluding AHNTECH's proposal from further consideration because it was assessed a deficiency under one technical subfactor. We deny the protest.
