B-270819.2 1 (1996-05-14)

handle is hein.gao/gaocrptaebf0001 and id is 1 raw text is: Comptroller General of the United States Washington, D.C. 20548 Decision Matter of: Comfort Inn South File: B-270819.2 Date: May 14, 1996 Phillip E. Johnson for the protester. Lori S. Chofnas, Esq., Department of the Navy, for the agency. C. Douglas McArthur, Esq., and Christine S. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Where record supports agency determination that the need for providing a smooth transition between civilian and military life mandated consideration of offeror's past performance in solicitation for lodging and transportation of applicants for military service, use of negotiated procedures was justified, since award would not be based on price alone. DECISION Comfort Inn South protests the terms of request for proposals (RFP) No. N00140-96-R-0422, issued by the Department of the Navy, Fleet and Industrial Supply Center, for accommodations for applicants for military service. Comfort Inn South essentially challenges the agency's decision to conduct the procurement using negotiated procedures, rather than sealed bidding. We deny the protest. The RFP, issued on December 15, 1995, provides for award of an indefinite delivery/ indefinite quantity contract for a period of 1 year, with three 1-year option periods, to provide applicants with lodging, meals (breakfast and supper), and transportation to the Jacksonville, Florida, military entrance processing station (MEPS) in accordance with the statement of work (SOW). The schedule, section B of the RFP, requires pricing on the basis of serving an estimated 16,000 applicants during each year of contract performance, in addition to providing testing rooms (an estimated 264 during the year) and delivering technical data as specified in the SOW. Section M of the RFP, as amended, states that the agency will consider price and past performance in selecting the offer most advantageous to the government, with past performance more important than price. 1039514
