          Date:       June 3, 2010

          DIGEST

          1. Protest challenging agency's cost realism evaluation of awardee's proposal is
          denied where the record demonstrates that agency's conclusions were reasonable.

          2. Protest that agency's evaluation of awardee's proposal failed to consider the
          conclusions of a Defense Contract Audit Agency audit report regarding the awardee
          is denied where the record shows the allegation is without basis.

          3. Protest of agency's technical evaluation is denied where record shows evaluation
          was reasonable and consistent with evaluation criteria; mere disagreement with
          agency's evaluation is insufficient to show it was unreasonable.
          DECISION

          Metro Machine Corp., of Norfolk, Virginia, protests the award of a contract to BAE
          Systems Norfolk Ship Repair Inc., also of Norfolk, Virginia, under request for
          proposals (RFP) No. N00024-09-R-4401, issued by the Naval Sea Systems Command,
          Department of the Navy, for the maintenance, repair, modernization, and alteration
          of DDG-51 Class ships (Arleigh Burke-Class guided missile destroyers) homeported
          or visiting Norfolk, Virginia. Metro alleges that the agency's evaluation of offerors'
          proposals and subsequent source selection decision were improper.


We deny the protest.
