Golden, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest of agency's evaluation of quotations is denied where record shows that evaluation was reasonable and consistent with applicable evaluation factors. DECISION Daly Associates protests the issuance of a purchase order to Donovan Training and Development (DTD) under request for quotations (RFQ) No. DABT43-01-T-0026, issued by the Department of the Army, United States Army War College and Carlisle Barracks, for facilitating, leadership and group skills training (FLAGS). Daly principally contends that the agency's evaluation was unreasonable and that Daly should have been selected for award. We deny the protest. The solicitation, issued February 28, 2001, as a total small business set-aside, contemplated the issuance of a fixed-price order for commercial services. The RFQ stated that the primary goal of the acquisition is to enhance military spouses' facilitating, leadership and group skills to prepare them to constructively influence and to positively interact with the military communities within which they live. RFQ 1.2. The second goal is to develop Army War College students' spouses as instructors/trainees to teach the contractor's FLAGS program to small groups of other spouses at the Army War College each academic year. RFQ 1.3. The RFQ provided for issuance of the order to the vendor whose quotation would be most advantageous to the government considering the evaluation factors of technical and price. The RFQ provided that technical was significantly more important than price.
