           Matter of:   2H&V Construction Services, LLC

           File:        B-405290

           Date:        September 1, 2011

           Janice M. Theriot, Esq., and John H. Dwyer, Jr., Esq., Zielke Law Firm PLLC, for
           the protester.
           Antonio R. Franco, Esq., Patrick T. Rothwell, Esq., and Ryan C. Bradel, Esq.,
           PilieroMazza PLLC, for LM2 Construction Company, Inc., an intervenor.
           Andre Ahuna, Esq., Department of the Navy, for the agency.
           Christina Sklarew, Esq., and Guy R. Pietrovito, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
           GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
           DIGEST

           1. In a negotiated procurement that provided for award to the lowest-priced,
           technically acceptable proposal, the agency reasonably found the protester's
           proposal to be technically unacceptable where the protester failed to address a
           number of required elements under an evaluation factor.

           2. Protest of an agency's waiver of a certification requirement for the awardee is
           denied where the protester was not prejudiced by the waiver.
           DECISION

           2H&V Construction Services, LLC, of Bonifay, Florida, protests the award of a
           contract to LM2 Construction Company, Inc., of Anaheim, California under request
           for proposals (RFP) No. N40192-1 1 -R-2900, issued by the Naval Facilities
           Engineering Command, Department of the Navy, for painting and related services.
           2H&V argues that its proposal was improperly rejected by the agency as
           unacceptable and that the agency improperly waived a certification requirement.


We deny the protest.
