          DIGEST

          Protest of agency evaluation and best value tradeoff determination is denied where
          protester fails to show that either was unreasonable.
          DECISION

          KBS, Inc., of Richmond, Virginia, protests the award of a contract to Blueridge
          General, Inc., of Norfolk, Virginia under request for proposals (RFP) No.
          N40085-10-R-3002, issued by the Department of the Navy, Naval Facilities
          Engineering Command  for exterior renovation and replacement of the roof of
          Building 3 at the Naval Medical Center in Portsmouth, Virginia. KBS challenges the
          evaluation of its proposal and the agency's best value tradeoff determination.

          We deny the protest.

          BACKGROUND

          The RFP provided for award to the offeror whose proposal represented the best
          value to the government based on six equally-weighted technical evaluation factors
          (corporate experience, past performance, management approach/schedule, technical
          solution, safety, and small business utilization) and price. The technical evaluation
          factors, when combined, were approximately equal in weight to price.
