Matter of: ABB Power Generation, Inc.

File:        B-272681; B-272681.2

Date:        October 25, 1996

B. Michael Schestopol, Esq., and James F. Nagle, Esq., Oles, Morrison & Rinker, for
the protester.
Gregory W. Vanagel, Esq., and William A. Hough, Esq., Army Corps of Engineers, for
the agency.
Tania L. Calhoun, Esq., and Christine S. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
DIGEST

1. Protest that contracting agency improperly failed to disclose evaluation
guidelines for rating certain proposal features as more desirable or less desirable is
denied since agencies are not required to inform offerors of their specific rating
methodology.

2. Where record shows that even if protester's proposal had received the maximum
possible score in an evaluation area associated with an allegedly inadequately
discussed issue, it still would not have been in line for award; there is no basis to
conclude that any inadequacy in discussions prejudiced the protester by depriving it
of an opportunity for award.
DECISION

ABB Power Generation, Inc. protests the award of a contract to National Electric
Coil (NEC) under request for proposals (RFP) No. DACW21-95-R-0055, issued by the
Army Corps of Engineers, Savannah District, to rewind and refurbish four
hydroelectric generators at the Hartwell Power Plant in Hartwell, Georgia. ABB
principally challenges the Army's evaluation of its proposal.

We deny the protests.
