DIGEST 1. Protest that award was improper because awardee's proposal evidenced an intent to violate solicitation's limitation on subcontracting clause is denied where awardee's proposal instead indicated that it would comply with the subcontracting limitation. 2. Protest that relative weights assigned the evaluation factors in the evaluation and resulting source selection decision were inconsistent with those set forth in the RFP is denied where record shows that award was consistent with evaluation scheme set forth in solicitation; fact that key discriminators among proposals were not the most heavily weighted factor is unobjectionable. DECISION KIRA, Inc. protests the Department of the Air Force's award of a contract to Environmental Management, Inc. (EMI), under request for proposals (RFP) No. F24604-01-R-0001, for consolidated facilities maintenance services at Malmstrom Air Force Base. KIRA argues that EMI's proposal indicated an intention to deviate from the terms of the RFP's limitation on subcontracting clause. KIRA further argues that the relative weights assigned the evaluation factors in the award decision were inconsistent with those set forth in the RFP.
