handle is hein.gao/gaocrptalay0001 and id is 1 raw text is: t)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. Decision Matter of: Basic Contracting Services, Inc. File: B-284649 Date: May 18, 2000 Mary G. Wilson, Esq., Aungier & Wilson, for the protester. Keith L. Baker, Esq., Barton, Baker, McMahon, & Tolle, for JWK International Corporation, an intervenor. Maj. Cynthia M. Mabry and LTC Karl M. Ellcessor, III, U.S. Army Materiel Command, for the agency. Jacqueline Maeder, Esq., and Paul I. Lieberman, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Agency evaluation of technical proposals is unobjectionable where the record establishes that evaluation was reasonable and consistent with the stated evaluation factors; protester's mere disagreement with the agency's conclusions does not render the evaluation unreasonable. 2. Discussions were meaningful where they explicitly apprised the protester of the area of its proposal that required revision. 3. Protest that agency failed to perform proper cost/technical tradeoff is denied where source selection official considered all relevant proposal evaluation material and cost in making his award determination and reasonably determined that the evaluated technical superiority of the highest technic ally-rated proposal warranted payment of the associated cost premium. DECISION Basic Contracting Services, Inc. protests the award of a contract to JWK International Corporation under request for proposals (RFP) No. DAAD07-99-R-0126, issued by the U.S. Army Materiel Command (AMC) as a small business set-aside for base operations support services for the White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico. Basic challenges the agency's evaluation of its technical proposal, the conduct of discussions, and the source selection decision.
