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 version has been approved for public release. Matter of: Normandeau Associates, Inc. File: B-417136 Date: February 6, 2019 Kenneth A. Martin, Esq., The Martin Law Firm, PLLC, for the protester. Brent Finley, Esq., Finley Legal, PLLC, for Four Peaks Environmental Science and Data Solutions the intervenor.

Heather Self, Esq., and Edward Goldstein, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest challenging agency's evaluation of awardee's experience is denied where the agency reasonably considered the experience of the awardee's proposed personnel performing similar work. DECISION Normandeau Associates, Inc. (Normandeau), a small business of Wenatchee, Washington, protests the award of a contract to Four Peaks Environmental Science and Data Solutions (Four Peaks), a small business also of Wenatchee, under request for proposals (RFP) No. W912EF18R0031, issued by the Department of the Army, Corps of Engineers, for fish counting and related services. Normandeau challenges the agency's technical evaluation of Four Peaks' proposal, arguing that the agency should have found Normandeau's proposal unacceptable under the solicitation's experience related factors. We deny the protest. BACKGROUND The solicitation, issued on August 27, 2018 as a set-aside for small business concerns, contemplated the award of a fixed-price contract to provide adult fish counting services at eight mainstem dams on the Columbia and Snake Rivers, as well as related information technology (IT) systems development.
