B-271756 1 (1996-06-24)

handle is hein.gao/gaocrptaefv0001 and id is 1 raw text is: Comptroller General of the United States Washington, D.C. 20548 Decision Matter of: TESCO File: B-271756 Date: June 24, 1996 H.B. Burton, Jr. for the protester. Mary P. Farris for STTAR Corps, an intervenor. Dennis J. Kelleher, Esq., Department of the Navy, for the agency. Marie Penny Ahearn, Esq., and John M. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Agency properly considered protester's limited experience and past performance with instructional training on vessels covered by the solicitation where the stated technical evaluation factors reasonably encompassed such matters, and protester was asked to provide information regarding this experience and past performance during discussions. DECISION TESCO protests the award of a contract to STTAR Corps, Inc. (a/k/a Systems Technical Training and Research Corps, Inc.) under request for proposals (RFP) No. N62383-96-R-2000, issued by the Military Sealift Command (MSC), Department of the Navy to provide onboard training courses for equipment and systems on three classes of Navy ships--T-AFS, T-AO, and T-AE.1 The protester argues that the Navy improperly downgraded its technical proposal using undisclosed evaluation criteria. We deny the protest. The award decision was to be made on a best value basis, with price and technical factors receiving equal weight. There were two technical criteria, of equal weight-- (1) personnel/qualifications and experience and (2) past performance. The Navy received three offers, two of which--those from TESCO and STTAR--were determined to be in the competitive range after initial evaluation. Written and oral discussions were held and best and final offers (BAFO) requested. 1All three classes are resupply ships; the T-AFS is for fuel, the T-AO is for spare parts and food, and the T-AE is for ammunition. The ships are operated by MSC using civil service mariners, who will form the student population for the courses. 713620
