             Matter of: Geonex Corporation

             File:        B-274390.2

             Date:        June 13, 1997

             Michael A. Hordell, Esq., and Laura L. Hoffman, Esq., Gadsby & Hannah, for the
             protester.
             Devon E. Hewitt, Esq., and Matthew A. Anzaldi, Esq., Shaw, Pittman, Potts &
             Trowbridge, for Greenhorne & O'Mara, Inc., the intervenor.
             James L. Weiner, Esq., and Justin P. Patterson, Esq., Department of the Interior, for
             the agency.

             Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
             DIGEST

             Protester was not prejudiced by the agency's waiver of a requirement in an
             architect-engineer competition that each vendor's participants in a
             photointerpretation live test demonstration--one of the evaluation criteria--have been
             employed by the vendor prior to a specific date, where the protester would not be
             the most highly rated vendor, even if it achieved a perfect score on the
             demonstration.
             DECISION

             Geonex Corporation protests the award of a contract for architect-engineer (A-E)
             services to Greenhorne & O'Mara, Incorporated (G&O), by the Fish and Wildlife
             Service, Department of the Interior.

             We deny the protest.

             The agency placed an announcement in the Commerce Business Daily on May 16,
             1995, seeking four units of services in support of the agency's effort to classify
             and map the nation's wetlands. The synopsis requested that interested firms submit
