handle is hein.gao/gaocrptaslb0001 and id is 1 raw text is: A G A O Comptroller General . Accountability * Integrity * Reliability of the United States United States Government Accountability Office DOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE Washington, DC 20548 The decision issued on the date below was subject to a GAO Protective Order. This redacted version has been approved for public release. Decision Matter of: University Research Company, LLC File: B-294358.8; B-294358.9; B-294358.10 Date: April 6, 2006 John S. Pachter, Esq., Jonathan D. Shaffer, Esq., Tamara F. Dunlap, Esq., and David S. Stern, Esq., Smith Pachter McWhorter, and Joseph J. Petrillo, Esq., Petrillo & Powell, for the protester. John E. Jensen, Esq., Devon E. Hewitt, Esq., Daniel S. Herzfeld, Esq., and Orest J. Jowyk, Esq., Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman, for IQ Solutions, Inc., an intervenor. Mogy E. Omatete, Esq., Department of Health and Human Services, for the agency. Ralph 0. White, Esq., and Christine S. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protester's contention that agency performed an unreasonable technical evaluation when it elected not to revise previous evaluation scores as a result of corrective action limited to receiving revised proposals addressing only reproduction services is denied where the evaluation approach was consistent with the solicitation's evaluation scheme. 2. Protester's challenge to agency's decision to make an upward adjustment to the protester's proposed costs is denied where the record shows that the adjustment was reasonably tailored to address a unique feature in the protester's cost proposal, and that if the adjustment had not been made, there was a risk that the predictive value of the cost evaluation would have been undermined. DECISION University Research Company, LLC (URC) protests a decision by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), to reselect IQ Solutions, Inc. for the award of a contract pursuant to request for proposals (RFP) No. 277-04-609 1, issued for the operation of the SAMHSA Health Information Network. URC argues that the agency's remedial review of reproduction costs--undertaken in response to a decision from the Court of Federal Claims--and its decision to make no changes in the technical evaluation scores as a result of the revisions made to the proposals, were unreasonable.
