          Decision

          Matter of: Global Solutions Network, Inc.

          File:        B-298682.3; B-298682.4

          Date:        June 23, 2008

          Gerald H. Werfel, Esq., Pompan, Murray & Werfel, P.L.C., for the protester.
          Kristen E. Ittig, Esq., Arnold & Porter LLP, for Accurate Conceptions, LLC, an
          intervenor.
          Peter F. Pontzer, Esq., Department of the Army, for the agency.
          Paul N. Wengert, Esq., and Ralph 0. White, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO,
          participated in the preparation of the decision.
          DIGEST

          1. Protest is denied where agency evaluation of proposals was reasonable and
          conformed to solicitation in most respects, and protester was not competitively
          prejudiced by agency evaluation either of past performance information submitted
          after deadline in solicitation, or additional pages in resume for awardee's key
          personnel.

          2. Protest that awardee's price was unreasonably low is denied where the awardee's
          price was significantly lower than the government estimate, but was considered
          reasonable given the agency's receipt of a similar price from a third, highly-rated,
          offeror.
          DECISION

          Global Solutions Network, Inc. (GSN), a small business, protests the award of a
          contract to Accurate Conceptions, LLC (AC) by the Department of the Army under
          request for proposals (RFP) No. W91QV1-06-R-0033 for task order management and
          financial support for the HRSolutions program office. GSN argues that the Army
          misevaluated the proposals, and should have found AC's price to be unreasonably
          low.


We deny the protest.
