Matter of:  Global Asset Technologies, LLC

File:       B-416576.8; B-416576.9

Date:       November 22, 2019

William K. Walker, Esq., Walker Reausaw, for the protester.
Kristin Zachman, Esq., Bailey & Bailey, P.C., for Dawson Enterprises, LLC, the
intervenor.
Maureen A. McAndrew, Esq., Department of the Army, for the agency.
Michael P. Grogan, Esq., and Edward Goldstein, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
DIGEST

1. Protest arguing that agency's evaluation of proposals following corrective action was
flawed because the agency failed to consider its prior evaluation provides no basis for
sustaining the protest.

2. Protest challenging the agency's best-value determination is denied when the
agency reasonably concluded that the protester's proposal was essentially equal to the
awardee's proposal under the non-price evaluation factors, and therefore reasonably
made award to the lower-priced offeror.
DECISION

Global Asset Technologies, LLC (Global), a small business of Anchorage, Alaska,
protests the award of a contract to Dawson Enterprises, LLC (Dawson), under request

Corps of Engineers (Corps) for facilities engineering and assessment services in
support of the U.S. Army Reserve's 99th Division. Global contends that the agency
unreasonably evaluated its proposal and made a flawed best-value determination.

We deny the protest.

BACKGROUND

The solicitation, issued on February 22, 2018, as an 8(a) set-aside, pursuant to the
procedures in Federal Acquisition Regulation parts 12 and 15, contemplated the award
