December 23, 2013


Kevin P. Connelly, Esq., Harold D. Lester, Jr., Esq., Kelly E. Buroker, Esq., and
Kyle E. Gilberston, Esq., Vedder Price, for the protester.
Tina Marie Pixler, Esq., and Patrick G. Nelson, Esq., Department of the Army, for
the agency.
Paul E. Jordan, Esq., and David A. Ashen, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
DIGEST

1. Protest of proposal evaluation is denied where record shows agency reasonably
concluded that awardee's proposal warranted more strengths and higher ratings
than the protester's based on awardee's more detailed proposal information and
depth of experience in area of technical quality.

2. Agency's selection of higher-rated, higher-priced proposal for award instead of a
lower-rated, lower-priced proposal is unobjectionable, where the agency's tradeoff
decision documented key discriminators, and reasonably explained why awardee's
lower risk proposal represented the best value.
DECISION

URS Federal Services, Inc., of Germantown, Maryland, protests the Department of
the Army's award of a contract to DynCorp International LLC, of Fort Worth, Texas,
under request for proposals (RFP) No. W58RGZ-1 2-R-01 02, for theater aviation
sustainment maintenance (TASM). URS protests the evaluation of proposals and
the source selection.

We deny the protest.
