          DIGEST

          Agency's evaluation of proposals, and selection of a higher-rated, higher-priced
          proposal for award of a contract for roofing services, are unobjectionable where the
          agency reasonably determined that the protester's proposal reflected significant
          weaknesses in safety, quality control, and experience of key personnel, and that the
          awardee's proposal represented the best value to the government.
          DECISION

          R. L. Campbell Roofing Company, Inc. protests the award of a contract to Cram
          Roofing Company, Inc. under request for proposals (RFP) No. N62467-01-R-3156,
          issued by the Department of the Navy, for roofing repairs. Campbell argues that the
          agency's evaluation of proposals, and selection of Cram's higher-priced, higher-rated
          proposal for award, were unreasonable.

          We deny the protest.

          The RFP provided for the award of a fixed-price, indefinite-delivery, indefinite-
          quantity (ID/IQ) contract for a base period of I year with three 1-year options.
          The contractor will be required to furnish all labor, materials, equipment,
          supervision, and transportation necessary to perform roofing repairs and roofing
          as directed by the agency at various Navy facilities in Alabama and Florida.
          The solicitation stated that award would be made to the responsible offeror
          submitting the proposal determined to represent the best value to the agency, with
          total evaluated price and technical merit being equal in importance. With regard to
