handle is hein.gao/gaobaczpb0001 and id is 1 raw text is: G A 0Comptroller General A Accountability * Integrity * Reliability of the United States United States Government Accountability Office DOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE Washington, DC 20548 The decision issued on the date below was subject to a GAO Protective Order. This redacted version has been approved for public release. Decision Matter of: DeTekion Security Systems, Inc. File: B-298235; B-298235.2 Date: July 31, 2006 Michael A. Hordell, Esq., Charles H. Carpenter, Esq., and Sean P. Bamford, Esq., Pepper Hamilton LLP, and Barbara Duncombe, Esq., and Suzanne Sumner, Esq., Sebaly Shillito & Dyer, for the protester. Robert K. Tompkins, Esq., and Michael J. Carrato, Esq., Patton Boggs LLP, for Sigcom-GDI Fencing Solutions, LLC, an intervenor. William D. Robinson, Esq., Federal Bureau of Prisons, for the agency. Edward Goldstein, Esq., and Christine S. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest that source selection official improperly made award on a low price/technically acceptable basis where solicitation provided for award on a best value basis is denied where the record reflects that the source selection official reasonably found the proposals of the awardee and the protester to be substantially equal and selected the lower-priced proposal. 2. Protest challenging source selection official's determination that protester's and awardee's proposals were substantially technically equal is denied where source selection official reasonably determined that the strengths and weaknesses attributed to the proposals by the technical evaluation panel did not reflect a substantial difference between the offerors' technical proposals; the fact that the source selection official's decision did not accept the findings and ratings of agency evaluators is unobjectionable where it is otherwise supported by the record. DECISION DeTekion Security Systems, Inc. protests the award of a contract to Sigcom-GDI Fencing Solutions, LLC under request for proposals (RFP) No. ROO-0531, issued by the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) for the design/build of electrified fence systems at seven BOP correctional facilities. DeTekion argues that the agency's source selection decision was not consistent with the terms of the solicitation, the agency failed to hold meaningful discussions with DeTekion, and the agency's evaluation of Sigcom-GDI's proposal was flawed.
