DIGEST

Protest that the agency improperly evaluated the protester's proposal as unacceptable
is denied where the record shows that the agency's evaluation was reasonable and in
accordance with the solicitation requirements.
DECISION

Stone Hill Park, LLC, a small business located in Greenwell Springs, Louisiana, protests
the award of contracts to Timberline Homes of Louisiana, LLC (Timberline LLC), a small
business located in Lafayette, Louisiana, and Andries and Associates, LLC, a small
business located in Carencro, Louisiana, by the Department of Homeland Security,
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), pursuant to request for proposals
(RFP) No. HSFE06-17-R-0003 for the maintenance and deactivation of manufactured
housing units (MHUs). The protester alleges that the agency failed to reasonably
evaluate Stone Hill's proposal, improperly amended the solicitation after the closing
date for submission of proposals, and failed to conduct a proper best-value tradeoff
decision. The protester also alleges that Timberline LLC was not eligible for award
because it does not meet the solicitation's Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and
Emergency Assistance Act (the Stafford Act) set-aside requirement. See 42 U.S.C.
§§ 5121-5207.


We deny the protest.
