             DIGEST

             Protester's offered price properly was adjusted upward to include estimated
             amounts for materials, subcontracting, and travel which the protester had omitted
             in calculating its yearly price despite fact that solicitation indicated they would be
             included in all offerors' prices.
             DECISION

             QSS Information Systems, Inc. protests the award of a contract to Wyle
             Laboratories under request for proposals (RFP) No. F33601-97-R-9013, issued by the
             Department of the Air Force for technical and logistics support for the Air Force
             Research Laboratory/Human Effectiveness Directorate at Wright-Patterson Air Force
             Base, Ohio.1

             We deny the protest.

             The RFP contemplated a time-and-materials contract for a base year with four 1-
             year options. RFP § L-65C. Offerors were to submit separate price and technical
             proposals, plus past and present performance information. RFP § L-556. Award
             was to be made on a best value basis by first ranking each technically acceptable
             proposal on the basis of total evaluated price, assigning each a performance risk



             1Work to be performed under the contract included preventive and remedial
             maintenance, inspection, modification, overhaul, fabrication, repair, calibration,
             certification and transport of experimental/test equipment and laboratory medical
             and non-medical instrumentation, such as desk-top computers, computer-controlled
