handle is hein.gao/gaocrptaeki0001 and id is 1 raw text is: Comptroller General of the United States Washington, D.C. 20548 Decision Matter of: Ameriko, Inc. File: B-272989 Date: November 4, 1996 Lynn Hawkins Patton, Esq., Ott & Purdy, for the protester. Ross L. Crown, Esq., and Dennis E. Jontz, Esq., Kemp, Smith, Duncan & Hammond, P.C., for Phillips National, Inc., an intervenor. Diane D. Hayden, Esq., and V. Paul Clay, Esq., Department of the Navy, for the agency. Mary G. Curcio, Esq., and John M. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest that agency misevaluated awardee's proposal as superior to protester's under experience factor is denied where record shows that agency's conclusion reasonably was based on the fact that awardee performed (and received strong reference ratings for) significantly greater number of similar contracts than protester. DECISION Ameriko, Inc. protests the award of a contract to Phillips National, Inc. under request for proposals (RFP) No. N63387-95-R-0069, issued by the Department of the Navy for military family housing and maintenance services. We deny the protest. The RFP, for the award of a fixed-price/indefinite quantity contract, provided that proposals would be evaluated under three factors: (1) management/administration plan (with four subfactors), (2) contractor experience (two subfactors), and (3) price. Each of the technical factors and subfactors was to be given an adjectival rating of strong, average, marginal, or unacceptable. The technical factors were significantly more important than price. Of the eight proposals received, Phillips's and Ameriko's were ranked first and second, respectively, in technical merit, both receiving strong ratings overall and for each subfactor. The agency ranked Phillips's proposal first based on a superior quality control plan (the second subfactor under management/administration plan), and more extensive experience performing military family housing maintenance 352114
