DIGEST

In procurement where technical merit, proposal risk, and past performance were
significantly more important than cost, agency properly selected higher-rated,
higher-priced proposal where it reasonably evaluated awardee's proposal as
significantly superior to protester's, based on numerous weaknesses and
informational inadequacies in protester's pro po sal.

Neeser Construction, Inc./Allied Builders System, A Joint Venture protests the award
of a contract to C.F. Jordan under request for proposals (RFP) No. F41689-00-R-0801,
issued by the Defense Commissary Agency (DeCA) for the design and construction
of a combined commissary/exchange to be built at Naval Station Pearl Harbor,
Hawaii.' The protester primarily challenges the evaluation of its proposal.

We deny the protest.

The RFP, as amended, requested proposals for the design and construction of a new
community shopping center consisting of a commissary, exchange, mall, and food
court, with all the associated site work, including utilities, roads, walks, and


'DeCA was represented by the Air Force in this protest.
