Roberta M. Echard, Esq., Administrative Office of the United States Courts, for the agency. Paul E.

DIGEST Agency's evaluation of awardee's technical proposal as superior to protester's, based in part on staff capabilities, is reasonable and fully supported by the record. In view of unobjectionable evaluation, protester's bias allegations fail to establish that agency acted with intent to injure the protester. DECISION Consultants on Family Addiction (COFA) protests the award of a contract to Atlanta Psychological Associates (APA) under request for proposals (RFP) No. 113E-97-01, issued by the Administrative Office of the United States Courts (AOUSC) for treatment services for federal defendants and offenders. We deny the protest. The AOUSC is authorized to contract with appropriate agencies or persons for services including drug testing and care for offenders who are alcohol or drug- dependent, or suffering from psychiatric disorders. The services to be obtained under this solicitation include drug testing and out-patient treatment counseling services in Fulton County, Georgia. The RFP contemplated award of a fixed-price service contract for a base year with two 1-year options. Award was to be made to the offeror whose proposal was most advantageous to the government based upon consideration of the stated evaluation criteria. Proposals were evaluated on the basis of four criteria, listed in descending order of importance: Quality of Services (50 percent); Price (25 percent); Experience and Reputation (15 percent); and Geographic Location (10 percent). All criteria but 458221
