File: B-291529 Date: December 20, 2002 Ms. Yue Guan for the protester. Sandra M. De Balzo, Esq., Drug Enforcement Administration, for the agency. Paul E. Jordan, Esq., and John M. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest of agency's price evaluation is denied where agency met requirements of the solicitation and the Federal Acquisition Regulation by comparing awardee's prices to other offerors', government estimate, and predecessor contract prices before concluding that prices reasonably reflected price of performing in accordance with proposed technical approach. DECISION Advanced Systems Technology and Management, Inc. (ASTM) protests the award of a contract to NW Systems, Inc. under request for proposals (RFP) No. DEA-02-R- 0002, issued by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), Department of Justice, for services in connection with the Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs Information System (NADDIS). ASTM challenges the agency's evaluation of NWS's price proposal. We deny the protest. In furtherance of its mission to enforce the narcotics laws of the United States, the DEA created the NADDIS as the central repository of information regarding persons, businesses, vessels, or other names of interest that have been reported by any of the agency's various investigatory arms. The RFP, a section 8(a) set-aside, sought proposals for all necessary personnel to provide supervisory, administrative, and data entry services to support and maintain the NADDIS. The RFP contemplated the award of a fixed-rate labor-hour contract for a base year, with 4 option years.
