DIGEST

Protest that an awardee was given undue evaluation credit for proposing a solution
to a sample task order because it allegedly copied the solution provided by its
proposed subcontractor (which was also a successful competitor) is denied where
the record does not support the protester's speculation that the solution was merely
copied.
DECISION

WRS Infrastructure & Environment, Inc. (WRS) protests the award of a contract to
Environmental Chemical Corporation (ECC) under request for proposals (RFP)
No. F42650-98-R-0003, issued by the Department of the Air Force for construction
and operation and maintenance (O&M) services for remediation, restoration, clean-
up and long-term monitoring of environmental actions at Hill Air Force Base and
surrounding Air Force property in Utah. WRS alleges that ECC received undue
evaluation credit for its mission capability on the basis that its response to a sample
task was allegedly copied from that of another offeror--Montgomery Watson
Americas, Inc. (M-W).


We deny the protest.
