          DIGEST

          Protest challenging proposal evaluation and source selection decision is denied
          where record shows evaluation and award decision were reasonable and consistent
          with solicitation's evaluation terms and applicable procurement regulations.
          DECISION

          SCS Refrigerated Services, LLC protests the award of a contract to Spokane
          Produce, Inc. under request for proposals (RFP) No. HDEC02-06-R-0007, issued by
          the Defense Commissary Agency (DeCA) for providing fresh fruits and vegetables to
          commissaries located in DeCA's west region (Area 4). SCS argues that DeCA
          improperly evaluated its proposal and that the best value award decision was
          unreasonable.

          We deny the protest.

          DeCA operates commissary stores, which provide for the sale of groceries and
          household supplies to members of the military and authorized patrons. On
          April 21, 2006, DeCA issued the subject solicitation as a small business set-aside for
          the procurement of fresh fruits and vegetables for 14 commissaries located in
          DeCA's west region (Area 4). Area 4 was divided into Groups 1 and 2. Group 1
          consisted of nine commissaries located on military installations in Washington,
