           File:       B-413377

           Date:       September 27, 2016

           Johnathan M. Bailey, Esq., and Kristin E. Zachman, Esq., Bailey & Bailey, PC, for
           the protester.
           Nicole Carter, Esq., and Meghan Leemon, Esq., Watson & Associates, LLC, for No
           Fuss Services, the intervenor.
           Tedd J. Shimp, Esq., Department of the Air Force, 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

           Protest that the agency unreasonably found awardee's proposal to be acceptable in
           a lowest-price, technically acceptable procurement is denied where the record
           shows that the agency's evaluation was reasonable and in accordance with the
           terms of the solicitation.
           DECISION

           American West Laundry Distributors (AWLD), of San Antonio, Texas, protests the
           award of a contract to No Fuss Services, of Peoria, Arizona, by the Department of
           the Air Force under request for proposals (RFP) No. FA3016-16-R-0025 for laundry
           services at Joint Base San Antonio, located in Lackland, Texas. AWLD argues that
           the agency improperly found No Fuss' proposal to be technically acceptable.

           We deny the protest.

           BACKGROUND

           The RFP, issued on February 22, 2016, sought proposals from eligible small
           businesses to provide laundry and dry cleaning services at Joint Base San Antonio
           for a 1-year base period and four 1-year option periods. RFP at 72. The RFP
           contemplated various services including pickup and delivery scheduling, receipt,
           storage, transportation and issuance of linens, as well as laundry and dry cleaning
           services. Id. at 73-74.
