Golden, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Agency reasonably determined that awardee's proposal demonstrated the capability to perform solicitation's statement of work requirement regarding contractor's obligation to have web capabilities for on-line ordering and order tracking, where awardee's proposal identified the specific software it intended to employ, described when and how the software would be installed, and described the procedures agency personnel would use to access the system. DECISION Rochester Optical Manufacturing Company protests the Department of Veterans Affairs' (VA) award of a contract to Korrect Optical under request for proposals No. 642-01-03 to provide prescription eyeglasses for various VA medical centers. Rochester, the incumbent contractor for the requirements at issue, protests that the agency failed to properly evaluate Korrect's proposal. We deny the protest. BACKGROUND In December 2002, the agency published the solicitation at issue here, seeking proposals to provide prescription eyeglasses for various VA medical centers in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware and West Virginia. Following an initial evaluation and source selection, a protest was filed; in response to that protest, the agency re-opened the procurement, amended the solicitation, and sought revised proposals.
