Unsigt , Stats Gn ADOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE Washington, DC 20548 The decision issued on the date below was subject to a GAO Protective Order. This redacted version has been approved for public release. D e c is io n ........................................................................................................................ Matter of: Omega Apparel, Inc. File: B-411266 Date: June 26, 2015 Marc Lamer, Esq., Kostos and Lamer, PC, for the protester. Joseph R. Weidenburner, Esq., Defense Logistics Agency, for the agency. Tyler L. Spunaugle, and Jonathan L. Kang, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest of an agency's performance confidence assessment evaluation and source selection decision is denied where the evaluation and award were reasonable and consistent with the solicitation's evaluation criteria. 2. Protest that an agency's best value tradeoff decision was mere pretext for a lowest-priced, technically-acceptable award is denied where the record shows that the best value tradeoff decision was reasonable, documented in the record, and that the source selection authority exercised his independent judgment in making the decision. DECISION Omega Apparel, Inc., of Smithville, Tennessee, protests the award of a contract to Bremen-Bowdon Investment Co., of Bowdon, Georgia, by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), Troop Support, under solicitation SPM1 Cl-14-R-0080 (RFP) for the supply of Army men's dress trousers with braid. Omega challenges the agency's evaluation of its proposal under the technical and past performance factors, as well as the agency's best value tradeoff decision. We deny the protest. BACKGROUND DLA issued the RFP on August 18, 2014, with a closing date of September 18. The agency issued a number of amendments to the RFP, ultimately closing the solicitation on October 10.
