This redacted version has been approved for public release. Decision Matter of: Savannah River Tank Closure, LLC File: B-400953; B-400953.2; B-400953.3 Date: March 30, 2009 James J. McCullough, Esq., Steven A. Alerding, Esq., Joseph J. LoBue, Esq., and William S. Speros, Esq., Fried Frank Harris Shriver & Jacobson LLP; and Deneen J. Melander, Esq. Robbins, Russell, Englert, Orseck, Untereiner & Sauber LLP, for the protester. Kenneth B. Weckstein, Esq., Tammy Hopkins, Esq., Pamela A. Reynolds, Esq., and Amy Kingston Walborn, Esq., Brown Rudnick LLP, for Savannah River Remediation LLC, an intervenor. H. Jack Shearer, Esq., Charmaine A. Howson, Esq., and Mary-Ellen Noone, Esq., Department of Energy, 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 In a procurement for liquid waste remediation, agency reasonably selected technically superior but higher priced proposal for award, where awardee's technical approach for tank cleaning was significantly superior to the protester's less feasible approach, the awardee's proposal exceeded the requirements of the solicitation to a much larger degree than did the protester's in several technical areas, and the awardee demonstrated proposal superiority under nearly all of the evaluation factors. DECISION Savannah River Tank Closure, LLC (STC), of Aiken, South Carolina, protests the award of a contract to Savannah River Remediation, LLC (SRR), also of Aiken, South Carolina, issued by the Department of Energy (DOE) under request for proposals (RFP) No. CE-RPO9-07SR22505, for liquid waste remediation services. STC contends that the agency's evaluation of proposals under the non-price evaluation factors was unreasonable and unequal. We deny the protest.
