         Matter of: DTH Management JV

         File:       B-283239

         Date:       October 6, 1999


         Benjamin N. Thompson, Esq., Grady L. Shields, Esq., and Jennifer E. McDougal, Esq.,
         Wyrick Robbins Yates & Ponton, for the protester.
         Alan Dickson, Esq., and Paul C. Burkholder, Esq., Epstein Becker & Green, for
         Ameriko, Inc., an intervenor.
         Richard G. Welsh, Esq., Department of the Navy, for the agency.
         Ralph 0. White, Esq., and Christine S. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
         GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
         DIGEST

         1. Protester's contention that it should have received the highest-possible rating
         under each evaluation factor and subfactor because its proposal was evaluated as
         having no weaknesses or deficiencies is denied because the argument is based upon
         an alleged deviation from an internal source selection plan rather than on
         information disseminated to offerors as part of the solicitation, and where there is no
         evidence in the record that the agency's evaluation criteria were applied unequally or

         2. Upon consideration and denial of protester's blanket contention that its proposal
         should have received the highest-possible rating under each evaluation factor and
         subfactor, its remaining issues are dismissed, since protester would not be in line for
         award even if all its remaining issues were sustained; protester thus lacks the direct
         economic interest necessary to be an interested party under General Accounting
         Office's Bid Pro test Regulations.

         Navy for maintenance and repair services for military family housing in West San
         Diego, California. DTH argues that the evaluation of its proposal is inconsistent with
         the ratings scheme set forth in the agency's source selection plan, that proposals
