This redacted version has been approved for public release. Decision Matter of: Structural Associates, Inc. File: B-403085; B-403085.2 Date: September 21, 2010 David S. Cohen, Esq., John J. O'Brien, Esq., and William Bainbridge, Esq., Cohen Mohr LLP, for the protester. James H. Roberts III, Esq., Van Scoyoc Kelly, for the intervenor. Stephen L. Sowell, Esq., and Deborah J. Shoemake, Esq., Department of the Army, for the agency. Scott H. Riback, Esq., and David A. Ashen, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest that agency improperly eliminated protester's proposal from award consideration is denied, where record shows that solicitation called for specific information not furnished by the protester, and also expressly stated that a proposal would be eliminated from consideration for award without the required information. DECISION Structural Associates, Inc. (SA), of Syracuse, New York, protests the award of a contract to Mid Eastern Builders, Inc. (MEB), of Chesapeake, Virginia, under request for proposals (RFP) No. W91278-10-R-0039, issued by the Department of the Army, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, for construction of improvements to the aircraft fueling facilities at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida. SA asserts that the agency misevaluated its proposal. We deny the protest. The RFP contemplated the award of a fixed-price contract for construction services to the offeror whose proposal represented the best value, considering price, past performance and key construction subcontractor. The non-price considerations combined were deemed equal in importance to price. RFP, section 00 12 00, at 2, 9. The past performance factor included two subfactors: company specialized experience and quality of past performance. Id. at 2-3.
