Decision Matter of: Analytic Strategies File: B-404840 Date: May 5, 2011 James R. Wimmer for the protester. Janet N. Repka, Esq., and Marina M. Kozmycz, Esq., Department of Defense, for the agency. John L. Formica, Esq., and James A. Spangenberg, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Agency's evaluation of the protester's proposed low price as posing performance risk was consistent with the terms of the solicitation and reasonably based where the solicitation sought specific cost and price information and provided for a price realism analysis, and the protester's labor rates were significantly below the agency's independent government estimate and the other offerors' proposed labor rates. DECISION Analytic Strategies, of Vienna, Virginia, protests the award of a contract to Defense Planning Corporation, also of Vienna, Virginia, under request for proposals (RFP) No. HQ0034-1 1-R-0008, issued by the Department of Defense, for analytical and information technology support services. Analytic Strategies protests that the agency's evaluation of its proposal and selection of Defense Planning for award were unreasonable. We deny the protest. The RFP, issued as a total small business set-aside, provided for the award of a fixed-price contract, with a base period of 1 year and four 1-year option periods. RFP at 38. The solicitation informed offerors that award would be made to the offeror submitting the proposal determined to represent the best value to the government based upon the following evaluation factors: technical approach, personnel, past performance, organizational capacity, management approach, and price. RFP at 68, 71. The RFP noted here that the evaluation factors were listed in descending order of importance, with the exception of the organizational capacity
