Patin, Esq., Catherine R. Baumer, Esq., and Robert J. Symon, Esq., Spriggs & Hollingsworth, for the protester. Richard J.

Golden, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest that agency improperly evaluated the protester's best and final offer for the lease of office space is denied where the record shows that the agency's evaluation of the protester's rental rate that included required tenant alterations was reasonable notwithstanding the protester's expectation that its lower rate which excluded these alterations would be used for evaluation purposes. DECISION 1301 New York Avenue Associates Limited Partnership protests the award of a contract to Square 140 Associates under solicitation for offers (SFO) No. 96-012, issued by the General Services Administration (GSA) for the lease of approximately 167,000 to 177,000 occupiable square feet (osf)1 of office and related space in Washington, D.C. for use by the Department of Agriculture's Economic Research Service (ERS). The protester argues that the evaluation of its offer and that of the awardee was unreasonable in several specific areas. We deny the protests. lOccupiable space is defined by the SFO to include only the portion of rentable space that is available for the tenant's personnel, equipment, and furnishings. 108127
