DIGEST

1. In a procurement for the lease of office space, protest that the agency improperly
included relocation and move-related costs in the agency's price evaluation of the
protester's proposal is denied where the agency's consideration of such costs is
reasonable and consistent with the solicitation evaluation criteria.

2. Protest that agency unreasonably evaluated protester's proposal in a procurement
conducted via the Automated Advanced Acquisition Program is sustained where the
agency inadequately documented  the basis of the relocation and move-related costs
that it added to the protester's proposal during its price evaluation.
DECISION

Toni and Vin Hoover Property Management,  LLC, doing business as Hoover Properties,
a small business of Tampa, Florida, protests the award of a lease to MSDG Frankfort,
LLC, of Brentwood, Tennessee, by the General Services Administration (GSA) under
request for lease proposals (RLP) No. 8KY2102, for the lease of general purpose office
space in Frankfort, Kentucky. The protester contends that the agency's price evaluation
was unreasonable  and inadequately documented.


We  sustain the protest.
