McHale, Esq., Trisa J. Thompson, Esq., and Mary Baroody Lowe, Esq., Seyfarth, Shaw, Fairweather & Geraldson, for the protester. Norman A.

Pogany, Esq., and Michael R. Golden, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Contracting agency is responsible for evaluating the data submitted by an offeror and ascertaining if it provides sufficient information as required by the solicitation to determine the technical conformance or acceptability of the offeror's proposed item; the General Accounting Office will not disturb this technical determination unless it is shown to be unreasonable. 2. Adjectival ratings, like point scores, are used as a guideline for intelligent decision-making by source selection officials; award should not and need not be based solely on these ratings or scores. A selection should reflect the procuring agency's considered judgment of whether significant technical differences exist in the proposals that identify a particular technical proposal as superior regardless of close technical scores or adjectival ratings among proposals.
