          Decision

          Matter of: C&H SERVICE Srl

          File:        B-310790

          Date:        February 5, 2008

          Sam Z. Gdanski, Esq., and Scott H. Gdanski, Esq., Gdanski & Gdanski, LLP, for the
          protester.
          Gary R. Allen, Esq., Candice D. Cleere, Esq., and Neil Whiteman, Esq., Department of
          the Air Force, for the agency.
          Peter D. Verchinski, Esq., and John M. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,

          DIGEST

          Agency reasonably rejected protester's proposal where proposed item did not meet

          reasonably disregarded protester's claim that proposed item was identical to another
          item listed on website where only supporting evidence was from protester and its
          suppliers.

          C&H primarily asserts that the agency improperly determined that the firm's
          proposed units did not meet the RFP's requirement that the units be listed on a
          certification website.

          We deny the protest.

          On July 25, 2007, the Air Force issued the RFP for certain air conditioning units
          (units capable of both cooling and heating) to be installed at locations surrounding
          Aviano Air Base, Italy. The RFP required the units to meet various specifications,
          including that they be EUROVENT certified in a certain class, and that the air
