DIGEST Protest that agency conducted inadequate evaluation of awardee's proposed price, which was significantly below government estimate, is denied where record shows agency conducted systematic and well-documented evaluation of awardee's price, consistent with solicitation requirements. DECISION American Technologies, Inc. (ATI) of Oak Ridge, Tennessee, protests the award of a contract to Environet, Inc., of Honolulu, Hawaii, under request for proposals (RFP) No. W9128A-09-R-0011, issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for services related to identification and disposition of munitions at former defense sites in Hawaii. The protester asserts that the agency did not reasonably evaluate Environet's price, which was so low that Environet's proposal should have been eliminated from the competition. We deny the protest. The RFP, issued on February 17, 2009, contemplated the award of a single fixed-price, indefinite-delivery indefinite-quantity contract for a base year, with 4 option years, to safely locate, identify, recover, evaluate, manage, and make final disposition of munitions and explosives of concern (MEC), principally at the former Waikoloa Maneuver Area (WMA) in Hawaii.
