DIGEST Protest that the agency unreasonably evaluated the awardee's proposal under the experience/capability and past performance factors is denied where the record shows that the agency's evaluation was reasonable and in accordance with the solicitation's evaluation criteria. DECISION Atherton Construction, Inc., of Henderson, Nevada, protests the award of a contract to Hal Hays Construction, LLC, of Riverside, California, by the Department of the Army, Corps of Engineers, under request for proposals (RFP) No. W91238-15-R- 0063 for construction services. Atherton argues that the agency improperly evaluated the awardee's proposal under two of the three non-price factors. We deny the protest. BACKGROUND The RFP, issued on July 31, 2015, sought proposals to construct a temporary lodging facility at Beale Air Force Base, located in Yuba County, California. RFP at 1. Award of one fixed-price contract was to be made to the offeror whose proposal represented the best value to the government, considering price and the following non-price factors, in descending order of importance: experience and capability, technical approach, and past performance. Id. at 21-22. The non-price factors, when combined, were to be approximately equal to price. Id. at 21.
