           File:       B-407038; B-407038.2

           Date:       October 17, 2012

           John R. Tolle, Esq., and Bryan R. King, Esq., Barton, Baker, Thomas & Tolle, LLP,
           for the protester
           Kenneth A. Martin, Esq., The Martin Law Firm, for Aliron International, Inc., the

           Erica S. Beardsley, Esq., Department of the Army, for the agency.

           DIGEST

           Protest is denied where the agency's comparison and confirmation of the offerors'
           proposed prices constituted a reasonable price realism analysis that was consistent
           with the terms of the solicitation.
           DECISION

           TCMP Health Services, of Springfield, Virginia, protests the award of a contract to
           Aliron International, Inc. under request for proposals (RFP) No. W9114F-1 1 -R-0003,
           issued by the Department of the Army, for dental services. TCMP challenges the
           agency's price realism analysis and the evaluation of Aliron's proposal.'

           We deny the protest.

           The RFP provided for the award of a fixed-price, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-
           quantity (ID/IQ) contract for a base year and four option years. The award was to
           be to the lowest-priced, technically acceptable proposal. Under the terms of the
           solicitation, the agency would evaluate the offers under three factors: technical,
           past and present performance, and price. The technical factor had six subfactors:

           1 TCMP also protested the evaluation of Dental Health Management Services
           (DHMS), the offeror next in line for award.
