 MATTER  OF:    Ad. Audio Visual Productions, Inc.

 DIGEST:

 1. Agency determinition  regarding technical
    superiority  of 4wardee's proposal is ream
    sonable where  record reflects that award-
    sees personnel possess experience  and
    expertise  in required work.

2.  Cost compariso1n maa by  :valuation panel
    and award  to 'technically superior although
    higher cost proposal  is proper where agency
    reasonably determined  that technical superi-
    ority of  the awardee's proposal offset price
    advantage of protester's proposal.

3.  Where agency  inadvertently fails to rerpond
    to protest prior  to it'ard, deficiency is
    procedur'al and does not constitute ground
    for setting aside award.

    Ads Audio Visual Productions,  Inc. (Ads) protasts
the award of a contiact to Audio Productions under
request for proposals  (RFP),FEA-7748 issued by the
Federal'Enezgy Administration.(FEA),for  the produc-
tion and editing of six television public service
announcements.  Ads contends  that its firm is techni-
cally superior to the awardee and,  in view of its
lower price,  it shouldhave received award.   Specifi-
cally, Ads questions the technical superiority of
the awardee in light of  its own experience in the
television public announcement field.  The protester
also asserts  that the awardee '4as not eligible for
award because it was not 'isted as a qualified cbn-
tractor on the applicable General Services Adminis-
tration (GSA) Federal Supply Schedule.  Finally,
Ads objects to the fact that FEA made an award  not-
withstanding its protest to that agency.
