Decision



Matter of: The Arora Group, Inc.

File:        B-270706.2

Date:        June 18, 1996

Sudhir Arora for the protester.
Thomas J. Duffy, Esq., and Daria H. Rusyn, Esq., Department of the Army, for the
agency.
Paula A. Williams, Esq., and Michael R. Golden, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
DIGEST

Proposed award to the offeror with the highest technical evaluation score is
unobjectionable where record establishes that technical evaluation of proposals
was done in accordance with the evaluation criteria and agency reasonably
concluded that there were significant distinctions between the protester's and
proposed awardee's relevant experience which led the agency to rate the proposed
awardee higher under that category.
DECISION

The Arora Group, Inc. protests the selection of Dr. Isis Hannallah for award of a
contract under request for proposals (RFP) No. DAHC35-95-R-0010, issued by the
Department of the Army for radiology services. Arora alleges flaws in the agency's
evaluation of both its own and Hannallah's proposals, specifically referencing
certain advantages associated with its radiologists' subspecialty and post graduate
training.

We deny the protest.

Issued as a total small business set-aside, the RFP sought proposals for two full-
time radiologists to provide diagnostic radiology services at DeWitt Army
Community Hospital, Fort Belvoir, Virginia. The services will include diagnostic
interpretation of radiologic examinations, diagnostic consultation related to
diagnostic imaging, and the full range of routine diagnostic and therapeutic work
performed by a board certified diagnostic radiologist. The RFP anticipated the
award of a fixed-price contract for a base period with four 1-year options. Award
was to be made to the offeror whose proposal was most advantageous to the
government, price and other factors considered. Technical merit was considered
