             Matter of: RAMCOR Services Group, Inc.

             File:       B-276633.2; B-276633.3; B-276633.4

             Date:        March 23, 1998

             Michael A. Gordon, Esq., and Fran Baskin, Esq., Holmes, Schwartz & Gordon, for
             the protester.
             Michael Cameron, Esq., Department of Justice, for the agency.
             Paul E. Jordan, Esq., and Paul Lieberman, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
             GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
             DIGEST

             1. Past performance and technical evaluations are unobjectionable where they were
             conducted in accordance with stated evaluation criteria and are supported by the
             record.

             2. Where evaluated deficiencies and weaknesses are relevant to more than one
             evaluation subfactor, agency's evaluation of those matters under multiple criteria
             does not constitute improper double counting.

             3. Protest of elimination of protester's proposal from the competitive range based
             on disagreement with agency's evaluation and allegation of bias on the part of
             evaluators is denied where the evaluation was conducted in accordance with the
             criteria announced in the solicitation, and the record supports the evaluators'
             conclusions and provides no evidence of bias.
             DECISION

             RAMCOR Services Group, Inc. (RSG) protests the elimination of its proposal from
             the competitive range under request for proposals (RFP) No. HQ-97-03, issued by
             the Immigration and Naturalization Service, Department of Justice for base
             operations and support services. RSG, the incumbent, contends that its proposal
             was improperly eliminated based on biased and faulty evaluations of RSG's past
             performance and technical proposal.


We deny the protest.
