          Decision


          Matter  of: DSC  Cleaning, Inc.

          File:       B-292125

          Date:       June 25, 2003

          David S. Cantu for the protester.
          Capt. Gregory A. Moritz, Department of the Army, for the agency.
          Jacqueline Maeder, Esq., and John M. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
          GAO,  participated in the preparation of the decision.
          DIGEST

          Protester's proposal was properly excluded from the competitive range where, due
          to several serious evaluated deficiencies, it was not among most highly-rated
          proposals, and protester fails to show that evaluation was unreasonable.
          DECISION

          DSC  Cleaning, Inc. protests the exclusion of its proposal from the competitive range
          under request for proposals (RFP) No. DAPC50-02-R-0023, issued by the Department
          of the Army for dining facility attendant services for Schofield Barracks and Wheeler
          Army  Airfield, Oahu, Hawaii. DSC contends that the Army unreasonably evaluated
          its proposal with respect to performance risk.

          We  deny the protest.

          The solicitation, issued on November 6, 2002 as a section 8(a) set-aside, provided for
          the best value award of a fixed-price contract for an 8-month base period, with four
          1-year options. RFP, attach. 12, at 1-6. The RFP identified the following technical
          evaluation factors (and subfactors): Technical capability (Workforce Plan/Key
          Personnel Qualifications, Mobilization/Phase-in); Quality Control (Quality Control
          Plan, Safety and Training); and Performance Risk (Past Performance, Work
          Experience). The three factors were approximately equal in importance and,
          combined, approximately equal in importance to price. RFP, attach. 3, at 1-2.

          The RFP advised offerors to address each evaluation factor and subfactor in their
          proposals. As relevant here, under performance risk the RFP specifically advised
          offerors to provide information pertaining to the experience of the firm and current
