          DIGEST

          1. Protest that agency improperly included oral presentation in evaluation is denied;
          where oral presentations were to become part of quotation and were to cover
          information encompassed by evaluation factors, it was implicit that content of
          presentations would be evaluated.

          2. Protest that agency improperly failed to perform price-technical tradeoff under
          best value evaluation scheme is denied where task order was issued to vendor that
          submitted highest rated and lowest priced quotation; accordingly, no tradeoff was
          required.
          DECISION

          Brooks Range Contract Services, Inc., of Fairbanks, Alaska, protests the issuance of
          a task order to CMI Management, Inc., of Alexandria, Virginia, under request for
          quotations (RFQ) No. AFRW-09-0006, issued by the Department of the Treasury for
          maintenance, repair, and management services for the Armed Services Retirement
          Home.  Brooks argues that the agency applied an undisclosed evaluation factor and
          improperly failed to perform a price-technical tradeoff in making its award decision.


We deny the protest.
