          Decision


          Matter of: Manufacturing Engineering Systems, Inc

          File:       B-278074; B-278074.2

          Date:       December 23, 1997


          Victor Zupa, Esq., Neville Shaver Hubbard & McLean, for the protester.
          Lori S. Chofnas, Esq., Department of the Navy, for the agency.
          John L. Formica, Esq., and James Spangenberg, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
          GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
          DIGEST

          Protest that the contracting agency unreasonably evaluated the protester's and
          awardee's competing proposals for instructional services under the management
          evaluation factor with regard to their respective approaches to the scheduling of
          daily training is denied, where the record shows that the agency reasonably
          determined that the protester's scheduling approach was unacceptable and that the
          awardee's well-documented scheduling approach was acceptable; the protester's
          mere disagreement does not render the agency's evaluation unreasonable.
          DECISION

          Manufacturing Engineering Systems, Inc. (iVIES), a small, disadvantaged business
          concern (SDB), protests the award of a contract to Lockheed Martin Services, Inc.,
          under request for proposals (RFP) No. N00140-97-R-1850, issued by the Department
          of the Navy, for instructional services. MES contends that the agency's evaluation of
          its and Lockheed's proposals, as well as the selection of Lockheed's proposal for
          award, were unreasonable.

          We deny the protest.

          The RFP provided for the award of an indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity
          contract, with fixed-price and cost-reimbursement contract line items, for a base
          with 4 option years. The successful contractor under the RFP will be required to
          schedule and provide flight simulator, classroom, and interactive courseware (ICW)
