          Decision


          Matter of: Kloppenburg Enterprises, Inc.

          File:       B-294709

          Date:       December 10, 2004

          Bruce Kloppenburg for the protester.
          William K. Walker, Esq., Walker Reausaw, for Alutiiq Management Services, LLC, the
          intervenor.
          Robert Schildkraut, Esq., Department of Defense Education Activity, for the agency.
          Charles W. Morrow, Esq., and Guy R. Pietrovito, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
          GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
          DIGEST

          1. Protester is not prejudiced by the award of a contract to a contractor whose
          office for the administration of the contract was not registered in the central
          contractor registration (CCR) database at the time of the award, where the
          contractor's corporate office was registered in the CCR database before award, the
          contracting officer confirmed before award that the contractor would promptly
          register its administering office, and the awardee did so.

          2. In a negotiated procurement in which technical merit was stated to be more
          important than price, selection of the lower priced proposal was proper where the
          protester's and the awardee's proposals were found technically equal.
          DECISION

          Kloppenburg Enterprises, Inc. protests the award of a contract to Alutiiq
          Management Services, LLC under request for proposals (RFP) No. HE 1254-04-R-
          0020, issued by the Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) for school
          bus drivers and safety attendants in Guam.

          We deny the protest.

          The RFP provided for the award of a fixed-price contract for a base year with
          2 option years for school bus drivers and safety attendants to transport students
          from schools operated by DoDEA for dependents of military service members and
          civilian employees in Guam. See RFP amend. AOO1, at 7. Among other things, the
