McAuliffe, Esq., and Christine S. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest of source selection is denied where record shows award determination was reasonable and consistent with solicitation's terms. DECISION La Dolce Vida Catering, of Chelsea, Massachusetts, protests the award of a contract to Regent School Catering FCS, Inc., of Glendora, California, under request for proposals (RFP) No. DTRT57-10-R-20001, issued by the Department of Transportation for cafeteria services at the Volpe National Transportation Systems Center. The protester challenges the agency's evaluation of proposals and the selection of Regent for award under the RFP. We deny the protest. The RFP, which was issued as a small business set-aside, commercial item procurement, contemplated the award of a no-cost contract for operation of the Volpe Center cafeteria. The RFP required each offeror to submit a written proposal that included a technical description of the items being offered in sufficient detail to evaluate compliance with the requirements of the solicitation. RFP at 2. The RFP's statement of work included requirements related to the operation of the facility, food quality, menu (including cycling and pricing structure), personnel and supervision, trash removal, government-furnished equipment maintenance and repair, cleaning and janitorial services, security and reporting, and inspections. The RFP also contained terms limiting the contractor's profit, as well as providing that any monetary loss from performance was to be absorbed by the contractor with no financial liability on the part of the government.
