Comptroller General Washington, DC 20548 of the United States ....................................................................................................................... DOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE The decision issued on the date below was subject to Decision a GAO Protective Order. This redacted version has been approved for public release. Matter of: Valiant Government Services, LLC File: B-416488 Date: August 30, 2018 Aron C. Beezley, Esq., Lisa A. Markman, Esq., and Sarah S. Osborne, Esq., Bradley Arant Boult Cummings LLP, for the protester. Adam K. Lasky, Esq., David Y. Yang, Esq., and Daniel P.

Simmons, Esq., Department of the Army, for the agency. Todd C. Culliton, Esq., and Tania Calhoun, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest allegation that the agency was required to select protester for award where the protester received identical adjectival ratings and was lower-priced is dismissed because an agency is required to look beyond the adjectival ratings and qualitatively compare the relative advantages and disadvantages associated with the proposals. 2. Protest allegation that the agency inadequately documented its tradeoff decision is denied where the record shows that the agency specifically compared the advantages and disadvantages associated with the proposals. 3. Protest allegation that the agency's tradeoff decision was unreasonable is denied where the record shows that it was in accordance with stated evaluation criteria and considered all of the advantages and disadvantages associated with the proposals. DECISION Valiant Government Services, LLC (Valiant), of McLean, Virginia, protests the issuance of a task order to J&J Maintenance, Inc., d/b/a/ J&J Worldwide Services, of Austin, Texas (J&J), under request for proposals (RFP) No. W912DY-15-D-OOXX, issued by the Department of the Army, Corps of Engineers, for operations and maintenance services. Valiant alleges that the agency unreasonably conducted its best-value tradeoff analysis.
