             Matter of: Davies Rail and Mechanical Works, Inc.

             File:       B-278260.2

             Date:        February 25, 1998

             Sam Zalman Gdanski, Esq., and Jeffrey Gdanski, Esq., for the protester.
             George N. Brezna, Esq., Ls B. Young, Esq., and Kenneth M. Homick, Esq.,
             Department of the Navy, for the agency.
             Jacqueline Maeder, Esq., and Paul Lieberman, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
             GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
             DIGEST

             Protest that agency improperly evaluated technical proposals is denied where the
             record shows that the evaluation was reasonable and consistent with the stated
             evaluation factors; protester's mere disagreement with the agency's conclusion does
             not render the evaluation unreasonable.
             DECISION

             Davies Rail and Mechanical Works, Inc. protests the award of a contract to Ederer,
             Inc. under request for proposals (RFP) No. N62472-97-R-1641, issued by the
             Department of the Navy, Navy Crane Center (NCC) for certain overhead electric
             traveling (OET) cranes. Davies contends that the proposals were not evaluated
             properly and that in making its best value determination, the agency failed to take
             into account all of the appropriate considerations.

             We deny the protest.

             The solicitation, issued May 22, 1997, contemplated the award of a fixed-price
             contract to design, fabricate, assemble, test, deliver, and install one 100-ton main
             hoist with a 50-ton auxiliary hoist OET crane, with an option for a 50-ton main hoist
             with a 10-ton auxiliary hoist OET crane. Both cranes are to be installed at Norfolk
             Naval Shipyard, Norfolk, Virginia.

             Section M-1 of the RFP provided for award to the offeror whose proposal was
             determined to represent the best value to the government, price and other factors
