evaluation criteria.
DECISION

business located in Alexandria, Virginia, protests the award of a contract to GC
Associates, LLC (GCA), a small business located in Arlington, Virginia, under request
for proposals (RFP) No. HT001120R0003, issued by the Department of Defense,
Defense Health Agency (DHA), for program management support. The protester
asserts that the agency failed to conduct a qualitative evaluation of proposals and
improperly awarded the contract on a lowest-priced, technically acceptable basis.
We deny the protest.

for the Director of DHA and the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health
Services and Policy Oversight, as well as administrative and records management
support for DHA's Arlington, Virginia office.
