This redacted version has been approved for public release. Decision Matter of: Crofton Diving Corporation File: B-289271 Date: January 30, 2002 Robert E. Korroch, Esq., Michael J. Gardner, Esq., James S. Phillips, Esq., and Frances E. Purcell, Jr., Esq.,Williams Mullen Clark & Dobbins, for the protester. Buel White, Esq., for Seaward Marine Services, Inc., the intervenor. Andrew C. Saunders, Esq., Kelly Calahan, Esq., and Trina Alexander, Esq., Naval Sea Systems Command, for the agency. Paul I. Lieberman, Esq., and Michael R. Golden, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Agency evaluation of proposals and resulting determination to make a combined award are unobjectionable where they are reasonable and consistent with the solicitation evaluation and award criteria; protest that agency was required to conduct procurement in a manner that would afford preference to a split award to different offerors for each of two zones being solicited is denied where solicitation does not provide for such preference and states that either a combined or a split award could be made, based on which is most advantageous to the government. DECISION Crofton Diving Corporation protests the award of a combined contract to Seaward Marine Services for waterborne hull cleaning and associated services for both zones solicited under request for proposals (RFP) No. N00024-00-R-4091 by the Department of the Navy, Naval Sea Systems Command. Crofton contends that the Navy failed to conduct the procurement in a manner that implemented the agency's goal of making a split award for the two zones in order to develop multiple sources, and otherwise improperly implemented the evaluation and award determination in various respects that adversely affected Crofton. We deny the protest.
