DIGEST
1. Protest challenging the agency's evaluation of statements of qualifications submitted
in a procurement for architect-engineering (A/E) services is denied where the evaluation
was consistent with the terms of the synopsis, and where the protester fails to
demonstrate competitive prejudice from any alleged error.
2. Protest alleging that the agency improperly assigned significant weight to oral
presentations/discussions when evaluating firms for an A/E services contract is denied
where, consistent with the Federal Acquisition Regulation provisions applicable to A/E
procurements, the agency properly conducted the mandatory discussions, and
reasonably considered the information provided during discussions in its evaluation.
DECISION
Accura Engineering and Consulting Services, Inc., a small business located in Atlanta,
Georgia, protests the award of a contract to Vanguard Pacific, LLC, of Foley, Alabama,
pursuant to synopsis No. 80MSFC21 R0007, issued by the National Aeronautics and
Space Administration (NASA) for architect/engineering (A/E) services at the George C.
Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) in Huntsville, Alabama. Accura contends that
NASA misevaluated the protester's and awardee's qualifications statements and made
an unreasonable source selection decision.

We deny the protest.
