           Matter of:  AAA  Mobile Showers, Inc.

           File:       B-311420.2

           Date:       March  27, 2009

           John Lukjanowicz, Esq., Law Offices of John Lukjanowicz, for the protester.
           Dale A. Elevatorski, A-1 Water; Leon Hammons, Ben Porta Showers; and Tera Green,
           Ben Toilet Rentals, Inc., the intervenors.
           Heather M. Self, Esq., Department of Agriculture, for the agency.

           participated in the preparation of the decision.
           DIGEST

           1. Protester's contention that agency misevaluated the protester's proposal by
           imposing evaluation criteria not set forth in the solicitation and failing to consider
           proposal revisions is denied where the record demonstrates that the agency's
           evaluation was consistent with evaluation criteria and otherwise reasonable.

           2. Agency provided meaningful discussions where, after observing equipment's
           failure to meet all minimum equipment requirements, it informed protester orally
           that the equipment did not meet minimum requirements and provided written
           assessments from an on-site inspection identifying concerns about the equipment's
           drainage issues.
           DECISION

           AAA Mobile Showers, Inc., of Placerville, California, protests its nonselection for
           contracts for mobile shower facility units under request for proposals (RFP) No. AG-
           024B-S-07-0005, issued by the Department of Agriculture, U.S. Forest Service. AAA
           contends that the Forest Service's evaluation of its proposal was unreasonable and
           that the agency failed to conduct meaningful discussions with the protester.


We  deny the protest.
