This version has been redacted or approved by the parties involved for public release. Matter of: Heimann Systems, Inc. File: B-272182 Date: September 9, 1996 Sam Zalman Gdanski, Esq., for the protester. Paul F. Khoury, Esq., Rand L. Allen, Esq., and Mark H. Neblett, Esq., Wiley, Rein & Fielding, for EG&G Astrophysics Research Corporation, an intervenor. Joni M. Gibson, Esq., Department of Justice, for the agency. Jeanne W. Isrin, Esq., and John M. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest that evaluation of technical and price proposals was improper is denied where the record shows that the evaluation was reasonable and consistent with the solicitation's evaluation criteria. 2. Use of price scoring formula in the evaluation of proposals is not objectionable merely because the solicitation did not inform offerors that the formula would be used. DECISION Heimann Systems, Inc. protests the award of a contract to EG&G Astrophysics Research Corporation under request for proposals (RFP) No. MS-96-R-0006, issued by the United States Marshals Service (USMS), Department of Justice, for the acquisition and installation of x-ray security screening systems. We deny the protest. The RFP contemplated award of a fixed-price, indefinite quantity, indefinite delivery contract for 1 base year, with four 1-year options. Offerors were required to submit technical and price proposals, plus a sample x-ray screening unit for testing and evaluation. The technical proposals and samples were to be evaluated under the following criteria: meeting specifications (60 of 100 available points); degree to which system's performance and features exceed specifications, especially resolution and penetration (20 points); execution plan, resumes, corporate overview, and corporate references (10 points); and past performance (10 points). 417920
