Matter of:  Coffman Engineers, Inc.

File:        B-416724; B-416724.2

Date:        November 28, 2018

Keric B.O. Chin, Esq., Corianne W. Lau, Esq., Dentons US LLP, for the protester.
Reginald M. Jones, Esq., and Nicholas T. Solosky, Esq., Fox Rothschild LLP, for Burns
& McDonnell Engineering Company, Inc., the intervenor.
Philip Tourangeau, Esq., Department of the Navy, for the agency.
Paula J. Haurilesko, Esq., and Laura Eyester, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
DIGEST

1. Protest that the agency failed to consider the protester's experience in three projects
is denied, where the record shows that the agency reasonably concluded that the
projects did not demonstrate performance relevant to the synopsis.

2. Protest that the evaluation record contained inaccuracies with respect to the
awardee's past performance is denied, where the record shows that the selection
rationale contained accurate information.
DECISION

Coffman Engineers, Inc., of Honolulu, Hawaii, protests the award of a contract to Burns
& McDonnell Engineering Company, Inc. (BMEC), also of Honolulu, Hawaii, under
synopsis No. N62742-18-R-0002, issued by the Department of the Navy, Naval
Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) Pacific, for architect-engineering fire
protection services. Coffman contends that the Navy misevaluated the qualifications
statements and made an erroneous selection decision.

We deny the protest.

BACKGROUND

Generally, architect-engineering procurements, such as the one at issue in this protest,
are conducted pursuant to special procedures established by the Brooks Act, 40 U.S.C.
§§ 1102-1104, as implemented in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) subpart 36.6.
