This redacted version has been approved for public release. Decision Matter of: Dismas Charities, Inc. File: B-289513.3 Date: March 26, 2004 Alex D. Tomaszczuk, Esq., and Daniel S.

Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest of agency's evaluation of proposals and source selection is denied where evaluation and award decision were reasonable and consistent with solicitation's evaluation terms. DECISION Dismas Charities, Inc. protests the award of a contract to Bannum, Inc. under request for proposals (RFP) No. 200-0665-SE, issued by the Department of Justice, Federal Bureau of Prisons, for Community Corrections Center services for federal offenders in Tupelo, Mississippi. Dismas generally challenges the agency's determination that the Dismas and Bannum proposals were substantially technically equal. Dismas argues that notwithstanding its higher price, it should have been selected for award based on its proposal's slightly higher evaluation point score.' We deny the protest. 1 This protest relates to a re-evaluation of proposals conducted as corrective action in response to an earlier protest filed by Dismas against the agency's initial award to Bannum under the RFP.
