           John Denny, GHG Corporation, for the protester.

           DIGEST

           Protest that agency misevaluated protester's proposal is denied where record
           shows that the agency's evaluation was reasonable and consistent with the terms of
           the solicitation.
           DECISION

           GHG Corporation, of Webster, Texas, protests the elimination of its proposal from
           consideration under request for proposals (RFP) No. NNJ12414076R, issued by the
           National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to acquire fabrication
           services at the Johnson Space Center. GHG argues that the agency unreasonably
           found its proposal technically unacceptable.

           We deny the protest.

           The RFP contemplated the award of an indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity cost
           reimbursement contract for a 1-year base period and a 2-year option period to
           provide a broad array of hardware fabrication services. These services range from
           the production of small parts to the development of new products, prototypes and
           first article space flight hardware. Offerors were advised that NASA planned to
           award a contract to the firm whose proposal offered the best value to the
           government, considering cost and several non-cost evaluation factors. RFP at M-3.

           The RFP stated that NASA would first evaluate proposals to determine technical
           acceptability considering four subfactors: management approach, phase-in plan,
           technical approach, and safety and health plan. RFP at M-3 to M-4. Proposals
