handle is hein.gao/gaocrptacfe0001 and id is 1 raw text is: Comptroller General of the United States Washington, D.C. 20548 Decision Matter of: Management Plus, Inc. File: B-265852 Date: December 29, 1995 Charles W. Surasky, Esq., and Karl Dix, Jr., Esq., Smith, Currie & Hancock, for the protester. Christopher Solop, Esq., Ott & Purdy, for KCA Corporation, an interested party. Col. Nicholas P. Retson, Maj. Michael J. O'Farrell, Jr., and Joseph M. Zima, Esq., Department of the Army, Office of the Judge Advocate General, for the agency. Sylvia Schatz, Esq., and David A. Ashen, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Agency reasonably downgraded protester's proposal for failing to demonstrate corporate experience, where the protester, a newly formed corporate entity, relied upon the qualifications of its proposed personnel to establish its corporate experience, but the solicitation provided for a separate evaluation of corporate and personnel experience. DECISION Management Plus, Inc. (MPI) protests the Department of the Army's award of a contract to KCA Corporation, under request for proposals (RFP) No. DAKF40-94-R- 0002, for food and dining attendant services at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. MPI challenges the evaluation of its proposal. We deny the protest. The RFP contemplated the award of a cost-plus-fixed-fee contract for a base year, with four 1-year options. The solicitation stated that technical proposals would be evaluated based on the following four factors: (1) technical excellence; (2) management; (3) quality control; and (4) cost. Each technical factor contained various subfactors. The solicitation stated that the cumulative weight of the first three factors was somewhat more important than cost; technical excellence was somewhat more important than management; and quality control was substantially less important than either technical excellence or management. The RFP provided for award to be made to the responsible offeror whose offer conformed to the RFP and was considered most advantageous to the government. 12581228
