         Matter  of:  Securicor Sicherheitsdienste

         File:       B-292723

         Date:       November  18, 2003

         Matthew  A. Cambra, Cambra-Consult, for the protester.
         Capt. Charles K. Bucknor, Jr., Department of the Army, for the agency.
         Sharon L. Larkin, Esq., and James A. Spangenberg, Esq., Office of the General
         Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
         DIGEST

         Protest challenging best value selection of higher priced, higher technically rated
         proposals is denied, where agency reasonably evaluated protester's proposal as
         marginal based on numerous technical weaknesses.
         DECISION

         Securicor Sicherheitsdienste protests the award of two contracts, one to Securitas
         GmbH   Werkschutz and the other to Pond Security Service GmbH, by the Department
         of the Army under request for proposals (RFP) No. DABNO1-03-R-0005 for guard
         services at U.S. military installations in Germany.

         We  deny the protest.

         The RFP  sought proposals for installation guard services for five Area Support
         Groups (ASG) in Germany and the former U.S. Embassy in Bonn, Germany.' These
         services include such things as static installation access control, roving security
         patrols, explosive detection and patrol dog teams, personnel security escorts, and
         any other security related function associated with the protection of the U.S.
         Government  installations, materials, property, and personnel. RFP at 284. The RFP
         also required the operation and maintenance of the government-furnished Mobile
         Vehicle Inspection System to conduct security inspections of vehicles at various
         locations on military installations. Operation of the mobile search system at an
         installation required providing a three-person team per shift. RFP at 475.

         'The five ASGs were the 6t, 26t, 98t, 100th, and 104t.
