Aeronautics and Space Administration, for the agency.

DIGEST

Protest that agency misevaluated offerors' prices is denied where the agency's price
evaluation for indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contract line items, which used
estimated quantities specified in the solicitation, was reasonable and consistent with the
price evaluation described in the solicitation.
DECISION

Ryan P. Slaughter, doing business as Allied Synergy International (ASI), of
Franklin Furnace, Ohio, a small business, protests the award of a contract to SC Jones
Services, Inc. (SCJS)1, of Hampton, Virginia, also a small business, under request for
proposals (RFP) No. 80KSC018R0014, issued by the National Aeronautics and Space
Administration (NASA), for commercial grounds maintenance, landscaping, and pest
control services at the John F. Kennedy Space Center (KSC) and surrounding areas, in
Florida. ASI contends that NASA misevaluated SCJS's price and awarded the contract
based on the erroneous conclusion that SCJS's was the lowest-priced technically
acceptable proposal.

We deny the protest.
