File: B-282554; B-282554.2; B-282554.3 Date: July 28, 1999 Sam Gdanski, Esq., for the protester. Daniel Barry, Esq., and Michael Trovarelli, Esq., Defense Logistics Agency, for the agency. Scott H. Riback, Esq., and John M. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protester's proposal was reasonably eliminated from competitive range where production demonstration models failed test to demonstrate conformance to solicitation requirements, and price was higher than awardee's. DECISION Wirt Inflatable Specialists, Inc. protests the elimination of its proposal from the competitive range, and the award of a contract to General Clothing Company, Inc., under request for proposals (RFP) No. SPO100-98-R-4063, issued by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) for a quantity of waterproof bags. Wirt maintains that DLA improperly rejected its proposal. We deny the protest. The RFP sought fixed-price offers for base and option quantities of waterproof bags that are used by military personnel in the field to keep their clothing and personal effects dry. Award was to be on a best value basis considering technical and price factors. RFP at 66. The RFP specified that technical considerations, when combined, were significantly more important than price. Id. The six technical factors, in descending order of importance, were: Production Demonstration Model (PDM), Past Perfo rmanc e, Manufacturing Plan, So c io -Ec o no mic Pro gram Support, Mento ring Business Agreement, and Javitz Wagner-O'Day Act Business Support. RFP at 67.
