         Date:      November 29, 2000


         Arthur L. Friedman for the protester.
         Miriam R. Chapman, Esq., Department of the Interior, for the agency.
         Jennifer D. Westfall-Mc Grail, Esq., and Christine S. Melody, Esq., Office of the

         DIGEST

         Agency reasonably rejected protester's quotation for fabrication of interpretive
         exhibits as technically unacceptable where protester failed to demonstrate
         experience with the fabrication of one of the key types of exhibits.
         DECISION

         American Artisan Productions, Inc. protests the rejection of its quotation as
         technically unacceptable under request for quotations (RFQ) No. 401810Q155, issued
         by the Fish and Wildlife Service, Department of the Interior for interpretive support
         services for its southeast region field stations.

         We deny the protest.

         The RFQ, which was issued under the procedures of Federal Acquisition Regulation
         Part 12 for the acquisition of commercial items, sought a vendor to design, fabricate,
         and install exhibits such as dioramas, interpretive panels, audio/visual programs,
         photomurals, and signs at Fish and Wildlife Service facilities across the southeast.
         The solicitation contemplated the award of an indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity
         contract to the vendor whose quotation was determined most advantageous to the
         government, price and other factors considered. Non-price factors, listed in
