Westfall-McGrail, Esq., and Edward Goldstein, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. In a procurement conducted pursuant to the Randolph-Sheppard Act, 20 U.S.C. § 107d-3(e) (2006), the source selection authority (SSA) reasonably determined that the price offered by a state licensing agency (SLA) was fair and reasonable based on comparison to government estimate and price offered by another offeror in the competitive range. 2. SSA reasonably included SLA's proposal in the competitive range where he disagreed with findings of the technical evaluation board pertaining to deficiencies and weaknesses in the SLA's proposed approach and furnished a detailed explanation as to the basis for his disagreement. DECISION NANA Services, LLC, of Anchorage, Alaska, protests the award of a contract to the Hawaii Department of Human Services, DBA Ho'opono Rehabilitation Center for the Blind, of Honolulu, Hawaii, a state licensing agency (SLA) for the blind, under request for proposals (RFP) No. M00318-09-R-0002, issued by the United States Marine Corps (USMC) for food services at Marine Corps Base Hawaii, Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii. The protester argues that the agency unreasonably determined that the SLA's price was fair and reasonable and that its technical proposal was acceptable. We deny the protest.
