               Matter of: Interstate General Government Contractors, Inc.

               File:       B-290137.2

               Date:       June 21, 2002

               Mallie Seckinger for the protester.
               Robert E. Little, Jr., Esq., Naval Facilities Engineering Command, for the agency.
               Susan K. McAuliffe, Esq., and Christine S. Melody, Esq., Office of the General
               Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
               DIGEST

               Protest of agency's evaluation of proposals is unobjectionable where record
               establishes that evaluation was reasonable and consistent with stated evaluation
               scheme; protester's mere disagreement with agency's conclusions does not render
               evaluation unreasonable.
               DECISION

               Interstate General Government Contractors, Inc. (IGGC) protests the award of a
               contract to Lake Moultrie Water Company under request for proposals (RFP)
               No. N62467-01-9153, issued by the Department of the Navy for wastewater facility
               headworks and related construction work at the Marine Corps Air Station, Beaufort,
               South Carolina. IGGC contends that the agency's evaluation of the proposals and the
               resulting source selection decision are unreasonable, and that they demonstrate
               agency bias in favor of the awardee and against IGGC.

               We deny the protest.

               The RFP, issued on August 13, 2001, anticipated the award of a fixed-price contract
               for the demolition of an existing headworks structure, construction of new
               headworks, bypass piping for lift stations, coating of lift station and aerobic digester
               interiors, and related work. The RFP provided for award to the responsible offeror
               that submitted the proposal determined to be most advantageous to the government.
               The following evaluation factors for award were listed in the solicitation: past
               performance, technical qualifications, construction schedule, and price. The first
               three factors, equal in importance, were to have a cumulative weight equal to price.
               Proposals were to set forth accurate, complete information demonstrating the
