          Decision


          Matter of: International Marine Products, Inc.

          File:        B-296127

          Date:        June 13, 2005

          Robert A. Landman for the protester.
          Scott Garner, Esq., and George Brezna, Esq., Military Sealift Command, for the
          agency.
          Edward Goldstein, Esq., and Christine S. Melody, Esq., Office of the General
          Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
          DIGEST

          1. Receipt on Saturday of an agency-level protest decision by a vice-president for the
          protester did not constitute actual or constructive knowledge of adverse agency
          action on that date, where Saturday was not a business day for the protester and the
          envelope containing the decision was not opened until Monday, the first business
          day after receipt.

          2. Protester's assertion that agency's evaluation of its technical proposal was flawed
          is denied where the record shows that the evaluation was reasonable and consistent
          with the solicitation, and the protester's contentions represent only its disagreement
          with the agency's judgment.

          Panel Controls, Inc. under request for proposals (RFP) No. N62381-03-R-1003, issued

          system inspection, training, system services and repairs, as well as emergent
          repairs. RFP at 2-20. IMP protests the evaluation of its proposal and alleges that
          the agency was biased in favor of Beach Panel.

          We deny the protest.

          The Navy issued the RFP on March 19, 2002. As amended, the RFP anticipated the
          award of an indefinite-delivery requirements-type contract with fixed unit prices, for
          a base year plus four 1-year options, for a variety of inspection, repair, training, and
