File: B-280180.2; B-280180.3; B-280180.4 Date: September 28, 1998 Andrew Searcy, Jr. for the protester. Louise E. Hansen, Esq., Defense Logistics Agency, for the agency. John L. Formica, Esq., and James A. Spangenberg, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Neither the Small Business Act nor any other statute precludes a contracting agency from comparatively evaluating the proposal of a small disadvantaged business concern where the solicitation's evaluation factors contemplate such an evaluation. DECISION The Xerxe Group, Inc. protests the award of contracts to any other offerors under requests for proposals (RFP) Nos. SP0600-97-R-0055-0109 (-0109), SP0600-R-0055- 0110 (-0110), and SP0600-97-R-0055-0111 (-0111), issued by the Defense Energy Support Center, Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), for the direct supply of natural gas to various installations in the United States. Xerxe, a small disadvantaged business (SDB) concern, protests the agency's evaluation of its proposals. We deny the protests. The protested natural gas requirements were originally to be procured under RFP No. SP0600-97-R-0055 (-0055), issued on June 4, 1997. This RFP provided for the award of fixed-price with economic price adjustment, indefinite-delivery type contracts, or the issuance of basic ordering agreements (BOA), depending on the contract line item number (CLIN). RFP -0055 stated that award would be made to the offeror submitting the offer determined to be the best value to the government, and listed the following evaluation factors in descending order of importance: (1) Technical Experience (A) Transportation (B) Supply Management (C) Quality of Previous Experience
