          File:        B-299086

          Date:        February 7, 2007

          Richard D. Lieberman, Esq., and Nicole S. Allen, Esq., McCarthy, Sweeney &
          Harkaway, P.C., for the protester.
          Andre Long, Esq., Department of the Navy, for the agency.
          Jonathan L. Kang, Esq., and Glenn G. Wolcott, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
          GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
          DIGEST

          1. Protest challenging agency's technical and price evaluations is denied where the
          record supports the reasonableness of the evaluations.

          2. Protest challenging agency's determination not to conduct discussions is denied
          where the solicitation advised offerors that the agency intended to make award
          without conducting discussions, and the record establishes that the agency had a
          reasonable basis for making its source selection decision.
          DECISION

          Synectic Solutions, Inc. (SSI) protests the Department of the Navy's award of a
          contract to Evolving Resources, Inc. (ERI) pursuant to request for proposals (RFP)
          No. N68936-04-R-0023 to provide information technology (IT) support services at the
          Naval Air Warfare Center, Point Mugu, California. SSI challenges the agency's
          evaluation of the offerors' technical and price proposals, the agency's determination
          not to conduct discussions, and the agency's cost/technical tradeoff.

          We deny the protest.

          BACKGROUND
