A Accountabity * Integrity * Reliability of the United States United States Government Accountability Office Washington, DC 20548 D .. Decision Matter of: SDV Solutions, Inc. File: B-402309 Date: February 1, 2010 Robert E. Korroch, Esq., and Francis E. Purcell, Jr., Esq. Williams Mullen, for the protester. Christopher E. Roberts, for Kelco Computing Solutions, an intervenor. Antonio Robinson, Esq., Department of Agriculture, for the agency. Nora K. Adkins, Esq., and Sharon L. Larkin, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest that agency improperly evaluated awardee's proposal under past performance factor is denied, where the agency reasonably considered the past performance of the awardee's and its subcontractor's government contracts to be relevant in accordance with the solicitation and reasonably determined that both the protester's proposal and awardee's proposal were deserving of green, or acceptable, ratings under the past performance factor. 2. Protest that awardee's price is unreasonably low is denied, where the solicitation provided for award of a fixed-price contract and did not require a realism analysis, and the agency verified that the protester's lower-priced proposal was not an error. DECISION SDV Solutions, Inc., of Toano, Virginia, protests the award of a contract to Kelco Computing Solutions, of San Francisco, California, issued by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), International Technology Services (ITS), under request for proposals (RFP) No. AG-3144-S-10-0002 for Hewlett Packard (HP) hardware maintenance. SDV challenges the agency's evaluation of past performance and price. We deny the protest. On October 21, 2009, the USDA issued the RFP on behalf of ITS, seeking a contractor to provide HP maintenance and support services to specific ITS locations. RFP at 3.
