           DIGEST

           Protests challenging an agency's determination that the awardee's low fixed price
           was realistic are denied, where the agency found that the awardee's low price
           reflected the firm's technical approach (that differed from that of the other offerors
           and the government's estimate).
           DECISION

           Bechtel National, Inc., of Reston, Virginia, and AMEC Programs, Inc., of Alpharetta,
           Georgia, protest the award of a contract to Kellogg, Brown & Root Services, Inc.
           (KBR), of Arlington, Virginia, under request for proposals (RFP) No. W912GB-1 3-R-
           0003, issued by the Department of the Army, Corps of Engineers, for the
           construction of an Aegis Ashore Missile Defense System complex at Deveselu Air
           Base, Romania. Bechtel and AMEC challenge the agency's technical and price
           evaluations.


We deny the protests.
