          Decision

          Matter of: Savantage Financial Services, Inc.

          File:        B-299798; B-299798.3

          Date:        August 22, 2007

          Jon W. van Home, Esq., Law Office of Jon W. van Horne, for the protester.
          Thomas P. Humphrey, Esq., Amy Laderberg O'Sullivan, Esq., and Adelicia Cliffe
          Taylor, Esq., Crowell & Moring LLP, for IBM Global Business Services, the
          intervenor.
          Maj. Geraldine Chanel, Department of the Army, for the agency.
          Paula A. Williams, Esq., and Ralph 0. White, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
          GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
          DIGEST

          Protest that agency unreasonably evaluated the protester's proposal is denied where
          the record shows that the agency's evaluation was reasonable and consistent with
          the stated evaluation factors; protester's disagreement with agency's evaluation is
          insufficient to show it was unreasonable.
          DECISION

          Savantage Financial Services, Inc. protests the award of a contract to IBM Global
          Business Services under request for proposals (RFP) No. W74V8H-06-R-0007, issued
          by the Department of the Army, for educational support services for the GoArmyEd
          program. Savantage challenges the evaluation of its technical and price proposals
          and the resulting source selection decision.

          We deny the protest.

          BACKGROUND

          The Army Continuing Education System (ACES) promotes lifelong learning
          opportunities for soldiers by providing and managing quality self-development
          education programs and services. Historically, ACES programs and services have
          been provided through an installation-centric model; however, through the
          GoArmyEd contract, ACES will offer active duty soldiers anytime, anywhere access
          to high quality educational opportunities from participating colleges and universities
