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 1been approved for public release. Matter of: Artek Construction Company File: B-418657; B-418657.2 Date: July 17, 2020 Thomas 0. Mason, Esq., and Joseph R. Berger, Esq., Thompson Hine LLP, for the protester. Katherine D. Denzel, Esq., Leslie M. Reed, Esq., and Herbet J. Aldridge, Esq., Department of the Army, for the agency. Paula A. Williams, Esq., and Edward Goldstein, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest challenging evaluation of protester's proposal under solicitation's management approach factor is denied where the evaluations and down-select decisions were reasonable and consistent with the terms of the solicitation. DECISION Artek Construction Company (Artek), of Adana, Turkey, protests its exclusion from phase two of a two-phase design-build procurement conducted under request for proposals (RFP) No. W912GB20R0006 issued by the Department of the Army, Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) Europe District, for construction, renovation and repair of general building projects in Turkey. Artek contends that the agency's evaluation of its phase I proposal under the management approach factor was unreasonable and inconsistent with the solicitation. Alternatively, the protester asserts that the concerns identified by the agency were relatively minor, which the agency should have resolved through clarifications with the protester, and that the evaluation findings reflected unequal treatment. According to the protester, but for these errors, its proposal would have been selected for the phase II competition. We deny the protest. On November 21, 2019, the Corps issued the RFP in accordance with the two-phase design-build procedures of Federal Acquisition Regulation subpart 36.3, for the award of indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (D), multiple-award task order contracts
