           Matter of:  R3 Government Solutions LLC

           File:       B-404863.2

           Date:       September 28, 2012

           Wayne A. Keup, Esq., Wayne A. Keup, PLLC, for the protester.
           William H. Butterfield, Esq., United States Coast Guard, for the agency.
           Susan K. McAuliffe, Esq., and Edward Goldstein, Esq., Office of the General
           Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
           DIGEST

           1. Protest challenging agency's technical evaluation is denied where the record
           reflects that the evaluation was reasonable and consistent with solicitation terms.

           2. Protest that agency failed to perform a price realism evaluation as required by
           solicitation is denied where the solicitation provided for realism assessment using
           proposal analysis techniques established under Federal Acquisition Regulation
           (FAR) § 15.404-1, and the agency assessed prices for realism based on
           comparison with prices received, among the methods identified under
           FAR § 15.404-1.
           DECISION

           R3 Government Solutions LLC, of McLean, Virginia, protests the award of contracts
           to six firms (DP George and Company, of Alexandria, Virginia; Crisis1, LLC, of
           Reston, Virginia; Advantage SCI, of El Segundo, California; Information Technology
           Coalition, Inc., of Alexandria, Virginia; Sayres and Associates Corporation, of
           Washington, DC; and Farfield Systems, Inc., of Catonsville, Maryland) under
           request for proposals (RFP) No. HSCG23-1 1 -R-TABS00, issued by the United
           States Coast Guard for support services. The protester challenges the agency's
           evaluation of its technical proposal and contends that the agency failed to
           adequately evaluate the awardees' prices for realism.


We deny the protest.
