handle is hein.gao/gaocrptaebv0001 and id is 1 raw text is: Comptroller General of the United States Washington, D.C. 20548 Decision Matter of: Dimensions International/QSOFT, Inc. File: B-270966; B-270966.2 Date: May 28, 1996 J. Patrick McMahon, Esq., and Thomas K. David, Esq., McMahon & David, for the protester. James Y. Miyazawa, Esq., Department of Navy, for the agency. Charles W. Morrow, Esq., and James A. Spangenberg, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Agency properly rejected protester's proposal where its responses to sample tasks designed to determine the offeror's understanding of and the technical approach to satisfying the government's requirements were unacceptable. DECISION Dimensions International/QSOFT, Inc. protests the rejection of its proposal under request for proposals (RFP) No. N00600-95-R-1461, a total small business set-aside, issued by the Department of the Navy, for automatic data processing services at the Naval Aviation Depot Operations Center, Patuxent, Maryland, under a fixed-price contract for a base year with four 1-year options. We deny the protest. The RFP provided for award to be made to the offeror whose proposal represented the best value, price and other factors considered. The RFP requested prices for a variety of designated labor categories and informed offerors that cost/price would be evaluated for realism. Technical proposals were to be evaluated under the following criteria listed in descending order of importance: (1) technical approach, (2) key personnel, (3) management plan, and (4) corporate experience. Under technical approach, the proposal preparation instructions required each offeror to provide detailed responses to eight sample tasks, which were said to be representative of the work to be performed under the contract. For each sample task, the offeror's response was to include (1) a description of possible areas to be investigated, (2) a detailed technical approach and detailed step-by-step procedures, (3) identification of additional information that would be required to perform the task, (4) a detailed work plan for implementation, (5) a product outline describing what would be the expected deliverable(s) and/or results of the task, and 1140524
