Matter of:  Metro Productions Government Services, LLC

File:       B-416203; B-416203.2

Date:       July 6, 2018

Jeffery M. Chiow, Esq., Lucas T. Hanback, Esq., and Neil H. O'Donnell, Esq., Rogers
Joseph O'Donnell, PC, for Metro Productions Government Services, LLC, the protester.
H. Todd Whay, Esq., Whay Law Firm, for District Communications Group, LLC, the
intervenor.
Jonathan A. Hardage, Esq., Department of the Army, for the agency.
Young S. Lee, Esq., and Peter H. Tran, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO,
participated in the preparation of the decision.
DIGEST

1. Protest challenging the agency's evaluation of awardees' technical proposal is
denied where the evaluation was reasonable and consistent with the stated evaluation
criteria.

2. Agency's selection of a lower-rated, lower-priced proposal for award instead of a
higher-rated, higher-priced proposal is unobjectionable, where the agency's award
decision was reasonable, and adequately documented the rationale for the tradeoff.
DECISION

Metro Productions Government Services, LLC, a small business of Hampton, Virginia,
protests the award of a contract to District Communications Group (DCG), a small
business of Washington, DC, under request for proposals (RFP) No. W1 5QKN-1 8-R-
0009, issued by the Department of the Army, for communications support services.
Metro challenges the Army's evaluation of technical proposals, contends that the
agency's evaluation was unequal, and argues that the award decision was
unreasonable.

We deny the protest.
