File: B-275505 Date: February 27, 1997 L.E. Mueller for the protester. Robert W. Pessolano, Esq., Department of the Army, for the agency. Katherine I. Riback, Esq., and Paul Lieberman, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Allegation that agency improperly evaluated awardee's proposal is denied where record establishes that the agency reasonably determined that awardee's proposal complied with the solicitation specifications. 2. Technically unacceptable proposal cannot be considered for award regardless of potential cost savings to the government. DECISION Spectrum Control Systems, Inc. protests the award of a contract to Johnson Controls, Inc. under request for proposals (RFP) No. DACA 27-96-R-0063, issued by the Department of the Army, for the expansion of the Energy Monitoring and Control System (EMCS) at Wright Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio. We deny the protest. The RFP sought proposals for installing heating ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) control and monitoring equipment in 14 existing buildings, interfacing and connecting the new equipment to the existing EMCS system, and furnishing all necessary hardware and software to accomplish the expansion. The RFP contemplated the award of a firm, fixed-price requirements contract for a base requirement with several options. The solicitation set forth a 9,200-point technical/management evaluation scheme and provided that technical factors were more important than price in the award selection. The RFP stated that the agency would consider only the base requirement in evaluating price. The agency issued four amendments to the solicitation, two of which are relevant to this protest. Amendment No. 1 added drawings ME1 and ME3, and amendment No. 3 changed note 5 of drawing ME1 to the following: 1111227
