This redacted version has been approved for public release. Decision Matter of: IBP, Inc. File: B-289296 Date: February 7, 2002 Ronald K. Henry, Esq., Kaye Scholer, for the protester. James H. Roberts, Esq., Manatt, Phelps & Phillips, for Farmland National Beef Packing Company, an intervenor. Jay P. Manning, Esq., Defense Commissary Agency, for the agency. Glenn G. Wolcott, Esq., and Michael R. Golden, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Where solicitation advised offerors that experience was an evaluation factor, agency properly considered the particular benefit associated with an offeror's experience as the incumbent. 2. Although solicitation provided that price and non-price factors were approximately equal in importance, agency was not required to give equal weight to the percentage differential between technical scores and the percentage differential between proposed costs; rather, the source selection official properly exercised her business judgment regarding the significance of the differences. DECISION IBP, Inc. protests the Defense Commissary Agency's (DeCA) award of a contract to Farmland National Beef Packing Company under request for proposals (RFP) No. DECA-02-R-0010 for the sale and delivery of beef products to various commissaries within DeCA's Eastern Region. IBP protests that the agency failed to properly apply the solicitation's stated evaluation factors. We deny the protest.
