handle is hein.gao/gaocrptaufs0001 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 Washington, DC 20548 Decision Matter of: Beck's Spray Service, Inc. File: B-299599 Date: June 18, 2007 Gregory M. Beck for the protester. Rod Thomas, for Thomas Helicopters, Inc., an intervenor. Sherry Kinland Kaswell, Esq., and Alton E. Woods, Esq., Department of the Interior, for the agency. Paul E. Jordan, Esq., and John M. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Evaluation of protester's technical proposal, resulting in score of less than half the available points, was unobjectionable where proposal lacked information on prior experience with required navigation system and ground operations, most past performance references were of limited relevance, and single responding reference stated it would hire offeror again with hesitation. 2. Where solicitation provided for comparative evaluation and identified experience and past performance as technical evaluation factors, and agency in fact evaluated proposals on comparative basis, agency's downgrading of protester's proposal under identified factors did not constitute nonresponsibility determination, and thus was not subject to regulations applicable to such determinations. DECISION Beck's Spray Service, Inc. protests the award of a contract to Thomas Helicopters, Inc. under request for proposals (RFP) No. NAR070059, issued by the Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM), for aerial spraying of herbicide. Beck's challenges the evaluation of its proposal and the source selection. We deny the protest. The RFP sought proposals for all labor, equipment, tools, materials, supervision, supplies, and incidentals for aerial spraying of government-furnished herbicide on approximately 28,472 acres of land located in and around BLM's Boise, Idaho field
