DECISION Cooperativa Muratori & Cementisti, C.M.C. di Ravenna Societa Cooperativa (CMC) of Ravenna, Italy, protests the award of a contract to M+W LOTUS ITALY S.C.A.R.L. (LOTUS), of Agrate Brianza, Italy, under request for proposals (RFP) No. N33191-16-R-1007, issued by the Department of the Navy, Naval Facilities Engineering Command, for construction of a new satellite communications (SATCOM) facility. CMC challenges the agency's evaluation of CMC's experience. We deny the protest. BACKGROUND The Navy issued the solicitation on January 11, 2016, seeking proposals for award of a fixed-price, design-bid-build contract to construct a new SATCOM facility and relay pads at U.S. Naval Air Station Sigonella, Italy. RFP at 1, 11. The RFP stated that proposals would be evaluated under five evaluation factors (experience, safety, schedule, past performance, and price) and that award would be made on a lowest-price, technically acceptable basis. Id. at 11. Offerors were advised that the non-price factors would be evaluated on an acceptable/unacceptable (i.e., pass/fail)
