          DIGEST

          Protest alleging that agency deviated from solicitation's stated evaluation scheme in
          evaluating bids is denied where protester has not demonstrated a reasonable
          possibility that it was prejudiced by any deviation.
          DECISION

          Qualicon Corporation protests the selection of Jessico Inc. for award under
          invitation for bids (IFB) No. HSCG83-07-B-3WQ254, issued by the Department of
          Homeland Security, U.S. Coast Guard for replacement of pier services at the Coast
          Guard's Little Creek Station in Norfolk, Virginia. Qualicon contends that it submitted
          the lowest overall price and thus is entitled to award.

          We deny the protest.

          The IFB requested prices on six line items, identified as B-1 through B-6. The
          solicitation provided for award to the low, responsive, responsible bidder based on
          the Total Aggregate Amount of Items B-1 through B-6. IFB, § M-1. Of significance
          to this protest, items B-3 and B-4 provided as follows:

                B-3. Unit Item 2: Provide all labor, material, equipment, supervision
                and transportation required to install insulated carrier and containment
                piping system with heat tracing for potable water. Attach to existing
                piping at bulkhead and existing piping on top of the pier.
