          Decision

          Matter  of:  Sayed Hamid Behbehani  & Sons, WLL

          File:        B-288818.6

          Date:        September 9, 2002

          Nidal Z. Zayed, Esq., for the protester.
          Sam Z. Gdanski, Esq., for Al Ghanim Combined Group, an intervenor.
          Nancy J. Williams, Esq., and Michael K. Millard, Esq., U.S. Army Corps of Engineers,
          for the agency.
          Paul E. Jordan, Esq., and John M. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO,
          participated in the preparation of the decision.
          DIGEST

          Technical evaluation was reasonable where agency followed solicitation's evaluation
          criteria and record supports agency's finding that protester's technical proposal
          contained weaknesses attributable to lack of adequate detail.
          DECISION

          Sayed Hamid  Behbehani & Sons, WLL  (SHBS) protests the award of a contract to Al
          Ghanim  Combined  Group under request for proposals (RFP) No. DACA78-01-R-0006,
          issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for design and construction services on
          projects in Kuwait. SHBS challenges the agency's evaluation of its proposal and the
          source selection decision.

          We deny the protest.

          The RFP  sought proposals for a job order contract (JOC) to provide rapid response
          for minor construction, renovation/rehabilitation, maintenance, and repair of
          existing buildings and structures, as well as construction of new facilities and/or
          additions to existing facilities at various sites in Kuwait. The successful contractor
          was expected to have the ability to manage various trades and engineering
          disciplines to perform multiple projects at multiple locations at the same time. The
          RFP anticipated the award of an indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract,
          based on the issuance of task orders, for a base year with 4 option years.

          Proposals were to be evaluated on the basis of two factors, technical and price. The
          technical factor was divided into various subfactors and associated elements:
