This redacted version has been approved for public release. Matter of: ICF Incorporated, LLC File: B-414247; B-414247.3; B-414247.5 Date: April 7, 2017 Kevin P. Connelly, Esq., Kelly E. Buroker, Esq., and Kirsten W. Konar, Esq., Vedder Price, PC, for the protester. Ron R. Hutchinson, Esq., Doyle & Bachman LLP, for Mathematica Policy Research, the intervenor. Justin V. Briones, Esq., and Jose Otero, Esq., Department of Education, for the agency. Glenn G. Wolcott, Esq., and Christina Sklarew, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protester's various challenges to the agency's evaluation of technical proposals are denied where the agency's evaluation record reasonably supports the agency's judgments and conclusions. 2. Where solicitation expressly provided that each offeror was expected to propose the cost/price specified in the solicitation, and to propose the most benefit possible for that specified amount, the agency reasonably made its best-value determination on the basis of the highest technically-rated proposal, and protester's assertions that the agency was required to perform a value assessment, separate and apart from the technical evaluation, is contrary to the terms of the solicitation and fails to state a basis for protest. DECISION ICF Incorporated, LLC, of Fairfax, Virginia, protests the Department of Education's award of a contract to Mathematica Policy Research, of Princeton, New Jersey, pursuant to request for proposals (RFP) No. ED-IES-15-R-0016 for various research and support services aimed at furthering a range of educational objectives. ICF challenges multiple aspects of the agency's evaluation of proposals. We deny the protest.
