handle is hein.gao/gaobadcyk0001 and id is 1 raw text is: A THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL DECISION OF THE UNITED STATES WASHINGTON, D. C. 20548 FILE: B-185027 DATE: September 22, 1976 MATTER OF: Dynalectron Corporation DIGEST: 1. Reduction in evaluation of proposal which relied on employ- ment and education histories to satisfy character require- ment of RFP was reasonable since RFP contained explicit requirements for evidence of character. 2. Proposal which listed only 5 of 14 temporary hires required by RFP was reasonably evaluated where credit was given only for five hires listed in spite of protester's allegation that-there was no doubt of its ability to furnish manpower. 3. Although decision to include only one proposer within com- petitive range is subject to close scrutiny, agency deter- mination will be upheld where it involves neither close question of proposal acceptability, likelihood of significant cost savings nor easily corrected deficiencies. 4. Technically unacceptable offer may be rejected even though that proposal offers lower cost than technically acceptable offer chosen for award. Dynalectron Corporation (Dynalectron) protests the award of a cost-plus-fixed-fee contract to Serv-Air, Inc. under the U.S. Customs Service (Customs) Request for Proposals (RFP) BC-76-1. The RFP solicited offers from potential contractors for flight- line and depot level maintenance for Customs aircraft located at seven primary maintenance sites throughout the United States. Dynalectron alleges that the Government failed to evaluate its proposal in accordance with the provisions of the RFP and acted in an arbitrary and capricious manner in conducting that evalua- tion. The protester also implies that the evaluation process was improper since only one proposer was determined to be within the competitive range and that Dynalectron should have been considered for award since its proposed cost-plus-fixed-fee was lower than Serv-Air's. Customs had previously solicited offers for similar aircraft maintenance services earlier in 1975 under RFP BC-75-B. The award to Kay & Associates unter that solicitation was pro- tested by Dynalectron. Customs terminated the contract for the convenience of the Government and instituted the present procurement.
