Comptroller General Washington, DC 20548 of the United States DOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE The decision issued on the date below was subject to a GAO Protective Order. This redacted version has been approved for public release. D e c is io n - -------------------------------------------------------- Matter of: AGMA Security Service, Inc. File: B-419443 Date: February 19, 2021 Alan Grayson, Esq., for the protester. Denise A. McLane, Esq., and H. Weston Miller, Esq., Department of Homeland Security, for the agency. Paul N. Wengert, Esq., and Tania Calhoun, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest that the agency improperly failed to evaluate protester's proposal under technical factors is denied where solicitation anticipated limiting the number of proposals to be evaluated and the agency complied with the terms of the provision; and protest that agency misevaluated awardee's proposal is denied where evaluation was reasonable and consistent with the solicitation's terms. DECISION AGMA Security Service, Inc., of Hormigueros, Puerto Rico, a small business, protests the award of a contract to Kerberos International, Inc., also a small business, of Temple, Texas, under request for proposals (RFP) No. 70RFP120RE2000002, issued by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Federal Protective Service, for protective security officer (PSO) services at various Customs and Border Protection facilities in Puerto Rico. AGMA argues that DHS improperly failed to evaluate its proposal and misevaluated the awardee's proposal. We deny the protest. BACKGROUND The RFP, issued August 25, 2020, sought proposals to provide PSO services under a single fixed-price indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contract for a base year and four option years, and an additional 6-month extension of services option. The RFP was set aside for participants in the Small Business Administration's section 8(a) program, and provided that a contract would be awarded to the offeror whose proposal provided the best value under three factors: past performance, management approach, and price.
