Denniston, Esq., and Jason A. Levine, Esq., Covington & Burling, for the protester. Robert S. Ryland, Esq., and Susan K Fitch, Esq., Kirkland & Ellis, for Gichner Shelter Systems, an intervenor. Joshua A. Kranzberg, Esq., and Robert A. Russo, Esq., Department of the Army, for the agency. Linda S. Lebowitz, Esq., and Michael R. Golden, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Where the solicitation's evaluation scheme provided that the technical evaluation factors were more important than price in determining the proposal representing the best value to the government, agency properly selected the higher technically rated, higher-priced proposal for award after reasonably determining that the proposal was technically superior to the protester's and that the advantages of that proposal warranted the payment of a price premium. DECISION Marion Composites protests the award of a contract to Gichner Shelter Systems under request for proposals (RFP) No. DAAB07-96-R-E009, issued by the Department of the Army for a quantity of Standardized Integrated Command Post System-Rigid Wall Shelters, Version 4. Marion challenges the evaluation of its proposal and the agency's price/technical tradeoff. We deny the protest. The basic shelter provides the structural framework for the integrated shelter which will house electronic command, control, and communications systems. The basic shelter is a six-sided enclosure, each side of which is made up of aluminum facing panels bonded to a paper honeycomb core. The integrated shelter must contain, at a minimum, workspace for two operators and must support a variety of electronic equipment. The shelter can be set up on the ground or can be mounted on a high mobility multi-purpose wheeled vehicle, transforming the shelter into a mobile command post. The RFP included a Functional Description Document (FUDD) 2021220
