Tan & Company File: B-277163 Date: September 8, 1997 Laurence P. Lubka, Esq., Hunt, Ortmann, Blasco, Palffy & Rossell, Inc., for the protester. John J. Finnerty for International Management, Development, and Training, Inc., an interveno r. Bernard Roan, Esq., and Thomas W. Berndt, Esq., National Aeronautics & Space Administration, for the agency. Linda S. Lebowitz, Esq., and Michael R. Golden, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Contracting officer reasonably selected for award the proposal with a higher technical rating and higher evaluated cost where she determined that the proposal's technical advantages justified the payment of an evaluated cost premium, and the solicitation's evaluation scheme provided that the mission suitability evaluation factor and an offeror's evaluated cost were most important and that an offeror's relevant experience and past performance was somewhat less important in selecting the most advantageous proposal to the government. DECISION Chek F. Tan & Company protests the award of a contract to International Management, Development, and Training, Inc. (IMDT) under request for proposals (RFP) No. 2-35974(TLS), issued by the Ames Research Center, National Aeronautics & Space Administration, for financial and accounting services. The protester challenges the evaluation of its proposal and the award to a higher technically rated, higher evaluated cost offeror. We deny the protest. The RFP was issued on November 26, 1996, and contemplated the award of a cost-plus-fixed-fee contract for the base period and four 1-year option periods to the offeror whose proposal was determined most advantageous to the government, mission suitability, cost, and relevant experience and past performance considered.
