DIGEST Protest that contracting agency improperly evaluated protester's proposal and made an improper best-value tradeoff decision is denied where the record shows that the evaluation, and the tradeoff decision based on that evaluation, was reasonable. DECISION Bannum, Inc., of Odessa, Florida, protests the award of a contract to Greenbrier Medical Group, Inc., of Hillsboro, West Virginia, under request for proposals (RFP) No. RFP-200-1228-ES, issued by the Department of Justice, Federal Bureau of Prisons, for a Residential Reentry Center (RRC) with Mothers and Infants Nurturing Together (MINT) services. Bannum argues that the agency improperly evaluated its proposal and made an improper best-value tradeoff decision. We deny the protest. BACKGROUND The RFP, issued on August 7, 2013, sought a contractor to provide an RRC with MINT services for female federal offenders in the vicinity of the Federal Prison Camp in Alderson, West Virginia. The facility will house pregnant female inmates and/or female inmates who have recently given birth. For up to three months after birth, MINT participants will be housed in this RRC with their infants. If, after three months, time remains on an inmate's sentence, the infant will be placed in the custody of relatives or foster care while the inmate completes her sentence. RFP
