         DIGEST

         Protest challenging evaluation of protester's proposal for support services contract
         is denied where evaluation was reasonable and consistent with solicitation's
         evaluation scheme.

         DECISION

         Crown Support Services, Inc. (Crown) protests the award of a contract to Raven
         Services Corporation (Raven) under request for proposals (RFP) No. 273-99-P-0007,
         issued by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS),
         Department of Health and Human Services, for support services. The protester
         asserts that the agency unreasonably downgraded its proposal.

         We deny the protest.

         Issued on April 16, 1999, the RFP solicited proposals for providing support services
         for the NIEHS at Research Triangle Park, North Carolina. The required services
         include: (1) mail; (2) messenger; (3) transportation of passengers; (4) copy, binding,
         and facsimile; (5) moving laboratory/office furniture and equipment; (6) conference
         room; and (7) maintainance of government vehicles. RFP at C4-14. The RFP
         contemplated award of a 1-year, fixed-price contract and included options for
         4 additional years. RFP at B3, L80.
