          File:        B-295903; B-295903.2

          Date:        May 9, 2005

          Sheril D. Collins, Zafer Construction Company and Gindiz S. Gingen and Naci
          Kologlu, Kolin Construction, Tourism, Industry and Trading Co. Inc., for the
          protesters.
          Stephen G. Anderson, Esq., Baker, Donelson, Bearman, Caldwell & Berkowitz, PC,
          for Framaco-Epik-Metis Joint Venture, an intervenor.
          Dennis J. Gallagher, Esq., Department of State, for the agency.
          Jacqueline Maeder, Esq., and John M. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
          GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
          DIGEST

          1. Protest that agency unreasonably evaluated protester's proposal is denied where
          record shows that evaluation was reasonable and consistent with stated evaluation
          criteria, and protester's contentions amount to disagreement with the evaluation.

          2. Protest that award was improper because awardee was unable, after award, to
          obtain site identified in its proposal for construction of man camp, is denied where
          solicitation did not require firm commitment or executed lease for sites identified in
          proposals.
          DECISION

          Zafer Construction Company and Kolin Construction, Tourism, Industry and Trading
          Co. Inc. protest the award of a contract to Framaco-Epik-Metis (FEM) Joint Venture
          under request for proposals (RFP) No. SGE500-04-R-1 122, issued by the Department
          of State, American Consulate General, Frankfurt, Germany, for the design and
          construction of a man camp facility for the United States Embassy in Kabul,
          Afghanistan. Both protesters argue that the agency improperly evaluated their
          proposals and that the award to FEM was improper.


We deny the protests.
