           DIGEST

           Protest that agency misevaluated protester's proposal is denied where record
           supports agency's evaluation findings.
           DECISION

           Dorado Services, Inc., of Sanford, Florida, protests the award of several contracts
           under request for proposals (RFP) No. W91278-09-R-0062, issued by the Department
           of the Army, Corps of Engineers, as a section 8(a) set-aside for small business
           concerns,' for design-build services. Dorado maintains that the agency misevaluated
           its proposal and failed to consider price in connection with its award decisions.

           We deny the protest.

           The RFP contemplated  the award of multiple, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity
           task order contracts to provide design-build, environmental, construction, repair,
           renewal, and sustained services to the agency's Mobile, Alabama District military
           customers, and for quick, cost-effective responses to requirements for new
           construction, technology infrastructure upgrades, correction of life-safety


           'Section 8(a) of the Small Business Act authorizes procurements to be set aside for
           socially and economically disadvantaged small business concerns. 15 U.S.C. § 637(a)
           (2006).
