handle is hein.gao/gaobadvjj0001 and id is 1 raw text is: G A O U.S. GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABILITY OFFICE 441 G St. N.W. Comptroller General Washington, DC 20548 of the United States DOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE The decision issued on the date below was subject to a GAO Protective Order. No party requested redactions; we are therefore releasing the decision in its entirety. Decision Matter of: Benaka Inc. File: Date: B-416836; B-416836.2 December 18, 2018 Donald J. Walsh, Esq., Wright, Constable & Skeen, LLP, for the protester. Scott N. Flesch, Esq., Frank A. March, Esq., and Lieutenant Colonel Andrew J. Smith, Department of the Army, for the agency. Paul N. Wengert, Esq., and Tania Calhoun, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest that agency misevaluated protester's proposal as technically unacceptable under requirement for construction schedule that included a maximum of 30 activities and or milestones is denied where agency reasonably evaluated protester's schedule having over 160 activities as noncompliant and thus unacceptable. 2. Protest that agency misevaluated awardee's proposal as acceptable because its schedule allegedly combined some items, omitted others, and used an impractical scheduling sequence, is dismissed where protester's proposal was unacceptable and at least one other offeror submitted an acceptable proposal and was thus in line for award. DECISION Benaka Inc., of New Brunswick, New Jersey, a small business, protests the rejection of its proposal and the award of a contract to Ranco Construction Inc., of Southampton, New Jersey, also a small business, by the Department of the Defense, National Guard Bureau, under request for proposals (RFP) No. W912KN-1 8-R-6000 for construction of a fuel cell/corrosion control facility at the New Jersey Air National Guard (NJANG) 177th Fighter Wing, in Egg Harbor Township, New Jersey. Benaka argues that NJANG misevaluated both firms' proposals and unreasonably awarded the contract to Ranco at a higher price. We deny the protest in part and dismiss it in part.
