This version has been redacted or approved by the parties involved for public release. Matter of: GZA Remediation, Inc. File: B-272386 Date: October 3, 1996 Alvin S. Nathanson, Esq., Nathanson & Goldberg, for the protester. Joseph A. Camardo, Jr., Esq., for Abscope Environmental, Inc., an intervenor. Frances S. Higgins, Department of the Army, for the agency. John Van Schaik, Esq., and Michael R. Golden, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Agency properly considered the past performance of the awardee's subcontractor under the relevant evaluation factor where the solicitation did not prohibit the use of subcontractors to perform the contract or prohibit the consideration of a subcontractor's prior contracts in the evaluation of proposals. 2. Award to higher priced offeror which had higher-rated proposal under nonprice factors is proper where there is a reasonable factual basis for the selection decision and that decision is consistent with the solicitation's evaluation scheme. DECISION GZA Remediation, Inc. protests the award of a contract to Abscope Environmental, Inc. under request for proposals (RFP) No. DACA41-96-R-0017 issued by the Corps of Engineers for removal of underground storage tanks and related work at Griffiss Air Force Base, Oneida County, New York.
