This redacted version has been approved for public release. Decision Matter of: G4S Government Services File: B-401694; B-401694.2 Date: November 4, 2009 Richard J. Webber, Esq., Lisa K. Miller, Esq., Kevin R. Pinkney, Esq., Craig S. King, Esq., and William W. Goodrich, Jr., Esq., Arent Fox LLP, for the protester. Richard J. Vacura, Esq., Keric B. Chin, Esq., and K. Alyse Latour, Esq., Morrison & Foerster LLP, and James J. McCullough, Esq., Steven A. Alerding., Esq., and William S. Speros, Esq., Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson LLP, for BI Incorporated, an intervenor. Song U. Kim, Esq., Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Department of Homeland Security, for the agency. Louis A. Chiarella, Esq., and Christine S. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest challenging agency's evaluation of the realism of awardee's proposed price is denied where record shows agency conducted well-documented price evaluation that was consistent with solicitation requirements. 2. Protest challenging evaluation of offerors' technical proposals and past performance is denied where the record shows that agency's evaluation was reasonable and supported by the record, or that there was no prejudice to the protester as a result of the alleged errors since, even if the offerors' ratings were adjusted as protester argues they should be, protester's proposal still would be rated no higher than the awardee's lower-priced proposal. DECISION G4S Government Services, of Atlanta, Georgia, protests the award of a contract to BI Incorporated, of Boulder, Colorado, under request for proposals (RFP) No. HSCECR- 09-R-00004, issued by the Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Department of Homeland Security (DHS), for the intensive supervision appearance program (ISAP II). G4S argues that the agency's evaluation of offerors' technical proposals and BI's price proposal was unreasonable. We deny the protest.
