Washington, DC 20548                                 The decision issued on the date below was subject to
                                                     a GAO Protective Order. This redacted version has

          Decision

          Matter of:  BCF Solutions, Inc.

          File:       B-409570

          Date:       June 13, 2014

          Kenneth B. Weckstein, Esq., and Shlomo Katz, Esq., Brown Rudnick LLP, for the
          protester.
          William A. Roberts III, Esq., John R. Prairie, Esq., and Stacie L. Gonsalves, Esq.,
          Wiley Rein LLP, for Quantech Services, Inc., the intervenor.
          Kyle E. Chadwick, Esq., Scott N. Flesch, Esq., Department of the Army, for the
          agency.
          K. Nicole Willems, Esq., and Edward Goldstein, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
          GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
          DIGEST

          1. Protest challenging agency's evaluation of awardee's proposal is denied where
          the selection authority had a reasonable understanding of the proposal, and the
          evaluation findings were reasonable and consistent with the evaluation criteria.

          2. Protest that agency failed to properly conduct a cost realism analysis is denied
          where the agency reasonably evaluated awardee's proposal and determined that an
          upward adjustment should be made to the probable cost, based on the possibility
          that certain cost saving efficiencies might not be realized, but that no downgrade of
          technical scores was necessary where the awardee's technical approach and labor
          mix were realistic and the awardee's low cost did not evidence a plan to shift costs
          to a related task order.
          DECISION

          BCF Solutions, Inc. (BCF) of Arlington, Virginia, protests the issuance of a task order
