Matter of: Kilda Group, LLC File: B-409144; B-409144.2 Date: January 29, 2014 Steven J. Koprince, Esq., Petefish, Immel, Heeb & Hird, LLP, for the protester. Jeffery A. Lovitky, Esq., Jeffrey A. Lovitky Law Office, for Abrams Learning & Information Systems, Inc., the intervenor. William R. Korth, Esq., Department of Veterans Affairs, for the agency. Paula A. Williams, Esq., and Edward Goldstein, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest challenging agency's price realism evaluation is denied where the agency reasonably concluded that the awardee's price was not unrealistic based on a comparison with the total average price for the offerors. 2. Agency's evaluation of proposals and selection of a lower-rated, lower-priced proposal for award were unobjectionable where the agency's decisions were reasonable and consistent with the solicitation's terms. DECISION Kilda Group, LLC, of Annapolis, Maryland, protests the award of a contract to Abrams Learning & Information Systems, Inc. (ALIS), of Arlington, Virginia, under request for proposals (RFP) No. VA 19A-1 3-R-0046, issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) for leadership training services. Kilda contends that the agency failed to adequately evaluate the awardee's prices for realism. Kilda also challenges various aspects of the evaluation of ALIS' proposal under the non-price factors, and the best-value selection decision. We deny the protest.
