Bakies, Esq., and Sarah F. Burgart, Esq., K&L Gates LLP, for the protester. Craig A. Holman, Esq., Nathaniel E. Castellano, Esq., and James R. S. Mestichelli, Esq., Arnold & Porter Kaye Scholer, LLP, for STG International, Inc., the intervenor. Daniel J. McFeely, Esq., Department of Veterans Affairs, for the agency. Charmaine A. Stevenson, Esq., and Laura Eyester, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest challenging the agency's price evaluation and selection decision is denied where the record shows that both were reasonable and in accordance with the terms of the solicitation. DECISION Valor Healthcare, Inc., of Addison, Texas, protests the award of a contract to STG International, Inc. (STGi), of Arlington, Virginia, under solicitation No. 36C26219R0026, issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) for five community-based outpatient clinics (CBOCs) in the VA's Loma Linda Healthcare System (VALLHS).1 The protester contends that the agency's evaluation of its price as unreasonable was based on a flawed independent government cost estimate (IGCE) and resulted in an unreasonable evaluation and selection decision. The protester further contends that STGi's proposal contained errors and omissions that render the proposal ineligible for award such that the agency should have rejected the proposal or required STGi to correct it. We deny the protest. 1 The five CBOCs are to be located in Corona, Murrieta, Palm Desert, Rancho Cucamonga, and Victorville, California. Agency Report (AR), Exh. 1, Solicitation at 83.
