         John A. Burkholder, Esq., McKenna Long & Aldridge, for EBREX Food Services

         DIGEST

         Agency  reasonably awarded a contract for commercially available, prime vendor
         food and non-food distribution services to the offeror which submitted the higher
         technically rated, lower priced proposal.
         DECISION

         Autofrigo Europe S.r.l. protests the award of a prime vendor contract to
         EBREX   Food Services S.a.r.l. under request for proposals (RFP) No. SP0300-02-R-
         4003, issued by the Defense Supply Center Philadelphia, Defense Logistics Agency,
         for full line food and non-food distribution services in Southern Europe (the Azores,
         Spain, France, Italy, Greece, Turkey, Bulgaria, Macedonia, Kosovo, Romania, ships at
         any port of call in Europe south of the Alps, and United States military exercises in
         Europe  south of the Alps or northern Africa). Autofrigo challenges the agency's
         evaluation of proposals.

         We  deny the protest.



         'This decision addresses the two primary issues presented in Autofrigo's protest.
         Autofrigo raised a number of collateral issues that we have considered and find to be
         without merit; these collateral issues do not warrant detailed analysis or discussion.
