Rose and Linda L. Rose for the protester. Lynn W. Flanagan, Esq., and Daniel N. Hylton, Esq., Department of Agriculture, for the agency. Louis A. Chiarella, Esq., and Christine S. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Challenge to agency's evaluation of protester's proposal is denied where the record shows that the agency reasonably evaluated the proposal in accordance with the solicitation's evaluation factors. DECISION Forest Regeneration Services LLC (FRS) protests the award of a contract to Turner Enterprises under request for proposals (RFP) No. NEAT-02-096, issued by the Forest Service, Department of Agriculture, for herbicide spraying services within the Allegheny National Forest, Pennsylvania. FRS alleges that the evaluation of its technical proposal was unreasonable. We deny the protest. The RFP, issued on May 8, 2002, contemplated the award of a fixed-price, incentive- fee contract for a base year and two 1-year options for the spraying of herbicides on understory vegetation in designated areas of the Allegheny National Forest. The solicitation established five technical evaluation factors in descending order of importance: technical approach, past performance, key personnel qualifications and experience, offeror's support equipment and facilities, and offeror's organization, qualifications and experience. The RFP also notified offerors that price was an important factor. The solicitation stated that the Forest Service intended to make award, without discussions, to the offeror whose proposal was technically acceptable and whose technical/price relationship was most advantageous to the government.
