This redacted version has been approved for public release. Matter of: Hunt Building Corporation File: B-276370 Date: June 6, 1997 James J. McCullough, Esq., and Lawrence E. Ruggiero, Esq., Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson, for the protester. Denny Watts for Fletcher Pacific Construction Company, Ltd., an intervenor. Vicki E. O'Keefe, Esq., Department of the Navy, for the agency. Scott H. Riback, Esq., and John M. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest allegation that agency improperly assigned identical adjectival ratings to protester's and awardee's proposals is denied where record shows that materials prepared by agency's technical evaluators adequately documented different features offered by each firm and conveyed to the source selection official the comparative merits of the proposals. DECISION Hunt Building Corporation protests the award of a contract to Fletcher Pacific Construction Company, Ltd. under request for proposals (RFP) No. N62742-95-R- 1360, issued by the Department of the Navy for the design and construction of military housing units at the Marine Corps Base at Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii. Hunt maintains that the Navy misevaluated its and Fletcher's technical proposals. We deny the protest. The RFP contemplated the award of a fixed-price contract and advised that the agency would make award to the firm submitting the proposal deemed most advantageous to the government considering numerous technical evaluation factors and price, with technical considerations deemed more important than price. The four technical criteria, listed in descending order of importance, were building/site design and site engineering, added quality of building and site design, offeror's qualifications and ability to perform, and offeror's subcontracting program/plan. Proposals were to receive an adjectival rating of highly acceptable, acceptable, marginal, or unacceptable under each criterion.
