Darcy V. Hennessy, Esq., Hennessy, Boe & Gondring, P.A., for the protester.
CPT Tyler Davidson, Department of the Army, for the agency.
Gary R. Allen, Esq., and Guy R. Pietrovito, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
DIGEST

1. Protest challenging an agency's technical and past performance evaluations is
denied where the evaluations are reasonable, supported by the record, and are
consistent with the solicitation's stated criteria.

2. Protest that the awardee's price is too low under a solicitation that did not
provide for a price realism evaluation does not provide a valid basis to question an
agency determination that the awardee's price was reasonable.

3. Protest that the agency did not make a proper best value determination is denied
where the source selection authority understood and evaluated the differences
between the technical proposals, and concluded that protester's strengths did not
outweigh its higher price.
DECISION

Contract Services, Inc. (CSI), of Junction City, Kansas, protests the award of a
contract to ALOG Corporation, of Huntsville, Alabama, under request for proposals
(RFP) No. W9124J-1 1 -R-0002, issued by the Department of the Army for
administrative and facilities support services at Fort Riley, Kansas. CSI challenges
the Army's technical and price evaluations.


We deny the protest.
