          Matter of: Godwin Corporation

          File:       B-290291

          Date:       June 17, 2002

          M.D. Crowe for the protester.
          Maj. Robert W. Clark, and Col. Michael R. Neds, Department of the Army, for the
          agency.
          Linda S. Lebowitz, Esq., and Michael R. Golden, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
          GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
          DIGEST

          Agency reasonably evaluated offers in accordance with the terms of the solicitation
          and reasonably selected for award the firm submitting the higher technically rated,
          lower-priced offer.
          DECISION

          Godwin Corporation protests the award of a contract to RLM Services, Inc. under
          request for quotations (RFQ) No. DADA08-01-T-0511, issued by the Department of
          the Army for emergency room physician services at Martin Army Community
          Hospital, Fort Benning, Georgia. Godwin challenges the agency's evaluation of
          offers and the award to a higher technically rated, lower-priced firm.

          We deny the protest.

          The RFQ, issued as a total small business set-aside on November 29, 2001,
          contemplated the award of a fixed-price contract for the base period and four 1-year
          option periods to the responsible firm whose offer' was determined most
          advantageous to the government considering price and the following technical


          'We note that the RFQ uses the term offer, as opposed to quotation, and the
          record refers to a contract being awarded based on the winning offer. In this
          decision, for purposes of consistency with the record, we use that terminology as
          well.
