Matter of: Tabcon, Inc. File: B-411554 Date: August 18, 2015 Johnathan M. Bailey, Esq., and Kristin E. Zachman, Esq., Bailey & Bailey, PC, for the protester. Douglas Patin, Esq., Lisa A. Markman, Esq., and Aron C. Beezley, Esq., Bradley Arant Boult Cummings LLP, for Brasfield & Gorrie, LLC, an intervenor. Helen Y. Kearns, Esq., General Services Administration, for the agency. Robert T. Wu, Esq., and Tania Calhoun, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest that the agency unreasonably evaluated the protester's non-price proposal is denied where the record shows that the evaluation was reasonable and consistent with the solicitation's evaluation criteria. 2. Protest challenging the source selection authority's best value tradeoff decision is denied where the record shows that the decision was rational and adequately documents the agency's decision to select a higher-rated, higher-priced offeror. DECISION Tabcon, Inc., of Gilbert, Arizona, protests the issuance of a task order to Brasfield & Gorrie LLC, of Birmingham, Alabama, by the General Services Administration (GSA) under contract No. GS-07P-99-HHD-00621 for design-build services at land ports of entry in Texas and New Mexico. Tabcon argues that the agency misevaluated its technical proposal and made a flawed best-value tradeoff decision. We deny the protest. 1 A review of the record shows that the procurement was identified by the contract number and was sent to each contract holder requesting proposals, but without an identifying task order solicitation number.
