File: B-271079.3; B-271079.4; B-271079.5; B-271079.7 Date: July 15, 1996 Kenneth B. Weckstein, Esq., and Jose Otero, Esq., Epstein, Becker & Green, P.C., for the protester. Joseph J. Petrillo, Esq., and Karen D. Powell, Esq., Petrillo and Associates, for Lockheed Environmental Systems & Technologies Company, an intervenor. L. Carol Roberson, Esq., and Karen J. Carroll, Esq., Environmental Protection Agency, for the agency. Mary G. Curcio, Esq., David A. Ashen, Esq., and John M. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest against award to offeror whose proposal received a lower technical score than protester's is denied where, although solicitation stated that technical considerations were more important than cost, the agency reasonably determined that the greater technical merit of the protester's proposal was not worth its significantly higher cost. DECISION ICF Kaiser Engineers, Inc. protests the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) award of a contract to Lockheed Environmental Systems & Technologies Company, under request for proposals (RFP) No. D500055R1, for Environmental Service Assistance Team (ESAT) support services for various EPA programs. Kaiser challenges the technical and cost evaluation. We deny the protest. The solicitation contemplated the award of cost-plus-award-fee or cost-plus-fixed- fee, level-of-effort contracts to furnish ESAT support services for four separate geographical areas--this protest concerns the Western Zone--for a 1-year base period with four 1-year options. The statement of work required the contractor to: establish ESAT work teams to collect and analyze chemical and biological test samples, review test data to assess quality and completeness, and provide logistical and administrative support to field, analytical and quality assurance activities. 514716
