Matter of: Madison Services, Inc.

File:        B-271306; B-271306.2

Date:        June 13, 1996

Christopher Solop, Esq., and Lynn Hawkins Patton, Esq., Ott & Purdy, for the
protester.
Daniel J. Riley, Esq., and Jeffrey A. Stonerock, Esq., Baker & Botts, L.L.P., for Baker
Support Services, Inc., an intervenor.
Clarence D. Long III, Esq., and Martin F. McAlwee, Esq., Department of the Air
Force, for the agency.
Susan K. McAuliffe, Esq., and Michael R. Golden, Esq., Office of the General
Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
DIGEST

1. Protester's contention that agency improperly evaluated proposals is denied
where the record shows that the agency evaluated proposals in accordance with the
criteria announced in the solicitation, and the record reasonably supports the
evaluators' conclusions.

2. Agency properly made award to offeror that submitted higher-priced, lower-risk
proposal where agency reasonably determined that award to protester based upon
its proposed limited manning presented a moderate risk of performance, and that
the awardee's higher-priced, lower-risk proposal, which was reasonably evaluated as
having additional comparative strengths, was worth the cost premium involved.
DECISION

Madison Services, Inc. protests the award of a contract to Baker Support Services,
Inc. under request for proposals (RFP) No. F08650-94-R-0032, issued by the
Department of the Air Force for military family housing maintenance services at
Patrick Air Force Base, Florida. Madison contends that the agency improperly
evaluated proposals and awarded the contract to Baker at a higher price than
proposed by Madison.

We deny the protest.
