handle is hein.gao/gaocrptacdi0001 and id is 1 raw text is: Comptroller General of the United States Washington, D.C. 20548 Decision Matter of: Anchorage Enterprises, Inc. File: B-261922 Date: November 7, 1995 Erling T. Johansen, Esq., Davison & Davison, Inc., for the protester. Richard P. Castiglia, Jr., Esq., Department of the Air Force, for the agency. Christina Sklarew, Esq., and John Van Schaik, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Where solicitation provided that technical and price considerations would be balanced to determine the best overall value to the government, and specifically reserved the right to award based on other than the lowest price, decision to award to offeror with significantly higher technically scored proposal and slightly higher price was unobjectionable. DECISION Anchorage Enterprises, Inc. (Anchorage) protests an award of contract by the Department of the Air Force to Record and Construction, Inc., under request for proposals (RFP) No. F10603-94-R-0003. Anchorage alleges that the Air Force's award decision was based on a flawed evaluation of proposals and was influenced by an improper bias toward the awardee. We deny the protest. The solicitation was issued as a competitive 8(a) set-aside for Simplified Acquisition of Base Engineering Requirements (SABER) for Mountain Home Air Force Base in Idaho. The SABER program provides for small-to-medium size maintenance and repair and minor construction projects in support of base civil engineers. The RFP contemplated the award of an indefinite quantity, indefinite delivery 12-month contract, with 4 option years. The RFP instructed offerors to submit separate technical and price proposals, and described the manner in which these would be reviewed by evaluation teams. The RFP stated that technical and price factors would have equal weight in the source selection. The solicitation specifically reserved the agency's right to award the contract to an offeror whose price was not the lowest proposed and stated that the award would be based on the best overall value to the government. 1000117
