handle is hein.gao/gaocrptajiv0001 and id is 1 raw text is: -e GeAtOa __Comptroller General of the United States United States General Accounting Office DOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE Washington, DC 20548 The decision issued on the date below was subject to a GAO Protective Order. This redacted version has been approved for public release. D e c i s i o n ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Matter of: North State Resources, Inc. File: B-282140 Date: June 7, 1999 Jefferey J. Swanson, Esq., for the protester. William L. Henson, Esq., and Daniel J. Dykstra, Jr., Esq., U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, for the agency. Andrew T. Pogany, Esq., and John M. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest against price evaluation which was limited to evaluation of an undisclosed hypothetical task order based on line item prices furnished by offerors, without agency obtaining technical input from the offerors, is untimely where price evaluation methodology was clear on face of solicitation, and protester did not file its protest prior to closing time for receipt of initial proposals. 2. Failure of individual evaluators to comment upon proposals under each evaluation factor in evaluation worksheets does not render evaluation flawed--there is no general requirement for such all-inclusive comments--particularly where consensus evaluation sheet contained references to proposal advantages and disadvantages, as well as consensus scores. 3. Where solicitation contemplated award of service contract to a firm qualifying under section 8(a) of the Small Business Act, and included the provision at Federal Acquisition Regulation § 52.219-14 concerning limitation on subcontracting, agency properly limited its consideration to the offeror's experience as prime contractor. DECISION North State Resources, Inc. (NSR) protests the award of a contract to Dean Ryan Consultants & Designers, Inc. under request for proposals (RFP) No. DACW05-98-R- 0013, issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for environmental studies, evaluations and consulting work for portions of eight western states. NSR principally asserts that the agency misevaluated proposals.
