This redacted version has been approved for public release. Decision Matter of: G&N, L.L.C. File: B-285118; B-285118.2; B-285118.3 Date: July 19, 2000 Albert B. Krachman, Esq., and Charles S. McNeish, Esq., Bracewell & Patterson, for the protester. William A. Roberts, III, Esq., and William Lieth, Esq., Wiley, Rein & Fielding, for BMAR & Associates, Inc., an intervenor. Larry E. Beall, Esq., U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, for the agency. Christina Sklarew, Esq., and Paul I. Lieberman, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Where solicitation provides that technical proposals will receive highest possible score for fully satisfying the characteristics required in the solicitation and does not provide that additional credit will be given for exceeding the requirements, agency was not required to give additional evaluation credit to a proposal that may have exceeded the solicitation requirements. 2. Protest that evaluation of technical proposals was unreasonable because it was inadequately documented is denied where the evaluation record, as clarified by narrative explanations provided by the agency, presents sufficient detail to assess the reasonableness of the conclusion that awardee's and protester's proposals were technically equivalent. DECISION G&N, L.L.C. protests the award of a contract to BMAR & Associates, Inc. under request for proposals (RFP) No. DACAO1-99-R-0049 issued by the Army Corps of Engineers for preventive maintenance and equipment inventory at healthcare facilities for the U.S. Medical Command (MEDCOM). G&N challenges the award on numerous grounds, primarily alleging that the Corps improperly evaluated proposals in a manner that was inconsistent with the RFP evaluation criteria and inadequately documented, and that the Corps accorded preferential treatment to the incumbent during the evaluation process by conducting prejudicially unequal discussions.
