handle is hein.gao/gaocrptahqw0001 and id is 1 raw text is: oComptroller General of the United States Washington, D.C. 20548 Decision DOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE The decision issued on the date below was subject to a I GAO Protective Order. This redacted version has been approved for public release. Matter of: KRA Corporation File: B-278904; B-278904.5 Date: April 2, 1998 John E. Jensen, Esq., Daryle A. Jordan, Esq., and Thomas A. Duckenfield, Esq., Shaw, Pittman, Potts & Trowbridge, for the protester. Paralee White, Esq., Michael A. Hordell, Esq., and Laura L. Hoffman, Esq., Gadsby & Hannah, for Walcoff & Associates, an intervenor. Gena E. Cadieux, Esq., Patricia D. Graham, Esq., and Joseph A. Lenhard, Esq., Department of Energy, for the agency. Jacqueline Maeder, Esq., and Paul Lieberman, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Agency evaluation of technical proposals is unobjectionable where the record establishes that the evaluation was reasonable and consistent with the stated evaluation factors; protester's mere disagreement with the agency's conclusions does not render the evaluation unreasonable. 2. Protest that agency failed to perform proper cost/technical tradeoff is denied where source selection official considered technical evaluations, past performance ratings, and cost in his award determination and reasonably determined that the evaluated technical superiority of the six highest technic ally-rated proposals warranted payment of the cost premium associated with certain of these proposals vis-a-vis other lower technic ally-rated, lower cost proposals. DECISION KRA Corporation protests the Department of Energy's (DOE) decision not to award KRA a contract under request for proposals (RFP) No. DE-RPO1-97EI30000, issued by DOE for technical services for the Energy Information Administration (EIA).1 KRA primarily challenges the agency's evaluation of KRA's technical proposal and the source selection determination. We deny the protest. 1EIA is an independent statistical and analytical agency within DOE.
