File: B-402123.5 Date: September 3, 2010 Wayne A. Keup, Esq., Wayne A. Keup, PLLC, for the protester. Avital G. Zemel, Esq., Environmental Protection Agency, for the agency. Scott H. Riback, Esq., and John M. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest that agency misevaluated protester's proposal is denied where record supports agency's evaluation conclusions and protest amounts to no more than disagreement with agency's scoring of proposal. DECISION Environmental Waste Minimization, Inc. (EWM), of Northampton, Pennsylvania, protests the award of contracts to Environmental Restoration, LLC (ER), of St. Louis, Missouri, and Kemron Environmental Services, Inc., of Atlanta, Georgia, under request for proposals (RFP) No. PR-R2-08-10085, issued by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for emergency rapid response services. EWM asserts that the agency misevaluated its proposal and failed to provide adequate discussions. We deny the protest. BACKGROUND The RFP contemplated the award of three contracts on a best value basis, two to be awarded to small businesses and one to a service-disabled, veteran-owned small business; this protest concerns the two small business awards. Proposals were to be evaluated on the basis of price and non-price factors; the non-price factors combined were approximately equal in weight to price for award purposes. RFP at M-1 to M-2. Proposals were to be point-scored under the evaluation factors and subfactors as follows: management factor--25 possible (of 100 total) points (divided between two subfactors--management approach, 15 points, and cost control, 10 points); past performance--25 possible points; personnel resources--20 points
