B-272041 1 (1996-08-20)

handle is hein.gao/gaocrptaehi0001 and id is 1 raw text is: Comptroller General of the United States Washington, D.C. 20548 Decision Matter of: Cobra Technologies, Inc. File: B-272041; B-272041.2 Date: August 20, 1996 Jacob B. Pompan, Esq., Gerald H. Werfel, Esq., and Neil H. Ruttenberg, Esq., Pompan, Ruffner & Werfel, for the protester. Ronald B. Vogt, Esq., and Stuart Young, Esq., DynCorp, and Paul Shnitzer, Esq., Crowell & Moring, for DynCorp, an intervenor. Terrence J. Tychan, Department of Health and Human Services, for the agency. Tania L. Calhoun, Esq., and Christine S. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protester's proposal was properly excluded from the competitive range where the agency reasonably concluded that there were a multitude of significant deficiencies in the proposal which made it technically unacceptable as submitted and major revisions would have been required to make it acceptable. DECISION Cobra Technologies, Inc. protests the exclusion of its proposal from the competitive range and the subsequent award of a contract to DynCorp under request for proposals (RFP) No. 223-96-9616, issued by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for operational maintenance and support services at federal buildings in Washington, D.C. Cobra primarily argues that the agency improperly evaluated its proposal. We deny the protest. The successful offeror will provide operational and maintenance support services at a federal building containing laboratory and office space. This building is unique in that it has a one-pass heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system; glass plumbing; and various independent air conditioning, compressed air, vacuum, and a variety of other laboratory delivery systems. Toxicology, pharmacology, microbiology, and nutritional studies that have a direct impact on the food, drug, and cosmetic chain in the country are performed on a daily basis in this building. The contractor will also perform construction and utility work at another nearby federal building. 531820
