          Decision


          Matter of: American Cybernetic Corporation

          File:        B-310551.2

          Date:        February 1, 2008

          Harry Steinberg for the protester.
          Mary C. Schaffer, Esq., and David T. Copenhaver, Esq., Department of the Treasury,
          Bureau of the Public Debt, for the agency.
          Paula A. Williams, Esq., and Ralph 0. White, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
          GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
          DIGEST

          Protest against agency's evaluation of protester's proposal is denied where record
          shows allegations are without merit, or that alleged evaluation errors did not result
          in competitive prejudice to the protester.
          DECISION

          American Cybernetic Corporation (ACC) protests the award of a contract to
          Svanaco, Inc. d/b/a as American Eagle under request for proposals (RFP) No. BPD-
          CSB-07-CI-0001, issued by the Department of the Treasury, Bureau of the Public Debt
          on behalf of the United States Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board
          (CSB), for website redesign and hosting services. ACC, which submitted a
          significantly higher-priced proposal, challenges the evaluation of its proposal and the
          agency's best value determination that resulted in the award to Svanaco, which
          submitted the highest technically rated, lowest-priced proposal.

          We deny the protest.

          The RFP, as amended, provided for the award of a fixed-price contract under the
          General Services Administration Federal Supply Schedule for a base period, with
          four 1-year options, for a contractor to redesign CSB's public use internet website
          and external hosting activities. RFP at 3, 6, 13. CSB is an independent federal
          agency responsible for investigating industrial chemical accidents and the CSB
          website, hosted internally on a server at CSB headquarters, is an important tool for
          informing the public about the agency's activities and disseminating safety
