           File:       B-405273

           Date:       October 7, 2011

           Ali Zaimi, for the protester.
           John Matuszak, Esq., and Laura Arnolds, Esq., Department of the Navy, for the
           agency.

           DIGEST

           Protest challenging agency's evaluation of proposals under safety factor is denied
           where the record reflects that the evaluation was reasonable and consistent with the
           terms of the solicitation.
           DECISION

           OER Services, LLC, of Arlington Heights, Illinois protests the award of a contract to
           Federal Contracts Corporation (FCC) of Tampa, Florida under request for proposals
           (RFP) No. N40083-1 1-R-3007, issued by the Department of the Navy, Naval Facilities
           Engineering Command, for the rental of various types of construction equipment.
           The protester argues that the agency improperly evaluated its proposal as technically
           unacceptable.

           We deny the protest.

           The solicitation, which was set aside for competition among small business firms,
           contemplated the award of a fixed-price indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity
           contract for a base and 2 option years. As amended, the RFP provided for award to
           the offeror whose proposal represented the best value to the government. Proposals
           were to be evaluated on the basis of the following factors: (1) management and
           technical approach; (2) corporate experience; (3) past performance; (4) safety; and
           (5) price. RFP amend. 2, at 3. Under the evaluation scheme, the non-price factors
           were of equal weight and, when combined, were approximately equal to price. Id.
