         File:      B-284814

         Date:      May 22, 2000


         Milton C. Johns, Esq., for the protester.
         Laura K Kennedy, Esq., and Geoffrey A. Barrow, Esq., Jenner & Block, for Kay and
         Associates, Inc., the intervenor.

         Aldo A. Benejam, 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 the agency improperly evaluated its proposal is denied
         where the record shows that the agency evaluated in accordance with the criteria
         announced in the solicitation, and the record reasonably supports the lower ratings
         assigned protester's proposal.

         2. Allegations that awardee lacks necessary facility security clearances and is not
         registered to do business in the states where services are to be provided concern the
         awardee's responsibility, the affirmative determination of which is not for review by
         General Accounting Office absent evidence of fraud, bad faith or failure to meet
         definitive responsibility criteria.
         DECISION

         Calian Technology (US) Ltd. protests the award of a contract to Kay and Associates,
         Inc. (KAI), the incumbent, under request for proposals (RFP) No. N00421-99-R-1506,
         issued by the Department of the Navy, Naval Air Systems Command, for
         administrative, financial, and technical support services for the Kuwait Air Force
         Liaison Office. Calian primarily challenges the evaluation of its proposal.


We deny the protest.
