handle is hein.gao/gaocrptagag0001 and id is 1 raw text is: Comptroller General of the United States Washington, D.C. 20548 Decision Matter of: MCC Construction Corporation File: B-276923 Date: July 16, 1997 James J. Gonzales, Esq., Holland & Hart, L.L.P., for the protester. Laurence Schor, Esq., and Susan L. Schor, Esq., McManus, Schor, Asmar & Darden, L.L.P., for Satellite Services, Inc., an intervenor. Maj. Michael O'Farrell and Col. Nicholas P. Retson, Department of the Army, for the agency. Tania L. Calhoun, Esq., and Christine S. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Under invitation for bids where award was to be made to the bidder submitting the lowest coefficient percentage factor, protest that contracting agency improperly failed to evaluate bids in accordance with the solicitation by using the wrong multipliers is denied where the evaluation was conducting using the multipliers set forth in the solicitation; any alleged contradiction between solicitation provisions was apparent on the face of the solicitation and thus had to be protested prior to bid opening. DECISION MCC Construction Corporation protests the award of a contract to Satellite Services, Inc. under invitation for bids (IFB) No. DAHA-44-97-B-0001, issued by the Virginia Army National Guard/U.S. Property and Fiscal Office for Virginia for maintenance, repair, or minor alterations at specified military bases. MCC argues that the Army improperly failed to evaluate the bids in accordance with the solicitation's stated methodology. We deny the protest. The solicitation, conducted using two-step sealed bidding, anticipated the award of a multi-year, indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity fixed-price contract to provide these services to Virginia Air National Guard bases located at the 192d Wing, Sandston, Virginia; the Alert Facility located on Langley Air Force Base, Virginia; and the 203d Redhorse Squadron at the State Military Reservation, Virginia Beach, Virginia. Six firms, including MCC and Satellite, were deemed qualified to participate in the second stage of the procurement, at issue here.
