handle is hein.gao/gaocrptafta0001 and id is 1 raw text is: Comptroller General of the United States Washington, D.C. 20548 Decision DOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE A protected decision was issued on the date below and was subject to a GAO Protective Order. This version has been redacted or approved by the parties involved for public release. Matter of: DIGICON Corporation File: B-275060; B-275060.2 Date: January 21, 1997 Carl J. Peckinpaugh, Esq., and Eric J. Marcotte, Esq., Winston & Strawn, for the protester. Alexander D. Tomaszczuk, Esq., and Matthew A. Anzaldi, Esq., Shaw Pittman Potts & Trowbridge, for Computech, Inc., the intervenor. Arthur I. Rettinger, Esq., and William P. McGinnies, Esq., Department of the Treasury, for the agency. John L. Formica, Esq., and James A. Spangenberg, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Agency properly considered in its evaluation of proposals and source selection the risk associated with the unreasonably low labor rates contained in the protester's proposal where the solicitation advised offerors that among other things their compensation rates would be evaluated to assess their impact on the recruitment and retention of professional employees. 2. Protest that the contracting agency unreasonably evaluated the awardee's proposal under an evaluation subcriterion relating to past performance is denied where the record shows that the evaluation was reasonable; the protester's mere disagreement does not render the agency's judgment unreasonable. DECISION DIGICON Corp. protests the award of a contract to Computech, Inc., under request for proposals (RFP) No. CS-94-032, issued by the Customs Service, Department of the Treasury, for services in support of the agency's Automated Commercial System (ACS). DIGICON contends that the award to Computech was not consistent with the RFP's stated evaluation criteria, and that the evaluation of its and Computech's proposals was unreasonable. We deny the protest. 42926
