             Decision

             File:       B-277353

             Date:       October 2, 1997

             Katherine S. Nucci, Esq., Timothy Sullivan Esq., and Martin R. Fischer, Esq., Adduci,
             Mastriani & Schaumberg L.L.P., for the protester.
             Vera Meza, Esq., Department of the Army, for the agency.
             Henry J. Gorczycki, Esq., and James A. Spangenberg, Esq., Office of the General
             Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
             DIGEST

             Agency reasonably determined that the awardee's price was reasonable and realistic
             based on a price analysis, and properly based its award selection on price where
             the competing proposals were otherwise reasonably determined to be equal.
             DECISION

             The Cube Corporation protests an award of a fixed-price-with-award-fee contract to
             ORI Services Corporation (ORI) under request for proposals (RFP) No. DAAD01-97-
             R-0011, set aside for section 8(a) concerns, issued by the Department of the Army
             for installation support management services at Yuma Proving Ground, Arizona, for
             a base period with 7 option years.

             We deny the protest.

             The RFP stated a best value evaluation scheme with the management/technical
             factor being significantly more important than performance risk, and performance
             risk being slightly more important than cost. Under the management/technical
             factor, the RFP stated four subfactors; of particular relevance here are subfactors
             1 and 3 which concern staffing and skill levels (journeyman to sub-journeyman),
             respectively. The subfactors were to be rated on a color scale of red (the lowest
