          Decision


          Matter of: Yoosung T&S, Ltd.

          File:        B-291407

          Date:        November 15, 2002

          Byoung Kook Min, First Law Offices of Korea, for the protester.
          Lt. Col. Thomas Hong and Maj. David T. Crawford, Department of the Army, for the

          DIGEST

          Protest that contracting agency improperly evaluated protester's proposal as
          technically unacceptable is denied where the record shows the evaluation was
          reasonable and consistent with the solicitation's evaluation criteria; protester is not
          an interested party to challenge the agency's nonresponsibility determination since it
          would not be in line for award even if its protest were sustained.

          Contracting Command Korea to obtain general cargo and explosive truck services
          for the United States Forces Korea. Yoosung argues that the Army improperly found
          its proposal technically unacceptable and improperly determined that it was not a
          responsible prospective contractor.

          We deny the protest.

          The RFP anticipated the award of a fixed-price requirements contract to obtain
          transportation services for the movement of general cargo and/or explosives
          originating within various Army movement control teams to any point in Korea. The
          Army currently acquires these services under two separate contracts, one of which is
          held by Yoosung; this RFP combines the requirements of both contracts.

          Award was to be made to the responsible offeror submitting the lowest-priced,
          technically acceptable offer that satisfied all of the solicitation's terms and
