Pietrovito, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest that an agency's cost/technical tradeoff decision gave improper weight to price is denied, where the agency reasonably determined that the protester's technically superior proposal was not worth its much higher price. DECISION Crockett Facilities Services, Inc., of Bowie, Maryland, protests the award of a contract to TK Services, Inc., by the General Services Administration (GSA), Public Buildings Service, under request for proposals (RFP) No. GS-1 1 P-i 1 -YT-D-0272 for operations and maintenance services. Crockett also requests that we reconsider our November 9, 2012 dismissal of its supplemental protest. We deny the protest and request for reconsideration. BACKGROUND The RFP, issued as a competitive section 8(a) set-aside, provided for the award of a contract for a base year and 4 option years for operations and maintenance services at the Prettyman Courthouse and Annex in Washington, D.C. RFP at 8. Offerors were advised that award would be made on a best value basis, considering price and the following three weighted technical evaluation factors: prior experience (40 percent), key personnel (35 percent), and past performance (25 percent). RFP amend. 2, at 163. Offerors were informed that the technical factors, combined, were more important than price. RFP at 165.
