handle is hein.gao/gaocrptahoc0001 and id is 1 raw text is: oComptroller General of the United States Washington, D.C. 20548 Decision Matter of: Compania De Asesoria Y Comercio, S.A. File: B-278358 Date: January 20, 1998 Fernando Barria for the protester. Carlos A. De Obaldia, Esq., De Obaldia & Garcia De Paredes, for CBH Construcciones, an intervenor. Col. Nicholas P. Retson and Capt. John C. Lavorato, Department of the Army, for the agency. Jacqueline Maeder, Esq., and Paul Lieberman, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Agency evaluation of protester's proposal is unobjectionable where the record shows that the evaluation was reasonable and consistent with the stated evaluation factors; protester's mere disagreement does not render the evaluation unreasonable. 2. Under best value solicitation in which technical factors were more important than price, selection on the basis that awardee's overall technical superiority warranted payment of the associated price premium is unobjectionable and consistent with the evaluation scheme where the agency reasonably evaluated the awardee's higher-priced proposal as offering a superior program management and technical approach. DECISION Compania De Asesoria Y Comercio, S.A. (ASECOSA) protests the award of a contract to CBH Construcciones, S.A. under request for proposals (RFP) No. DAJN21-97-R-0039, issued by the Department of the Army for grounds maintenance services at various U.S. military installations in Panama. ASECOSA objects to the evaluation of its proposal and asserts that the determination to award to a firm which did not offer the lowest-priced technically acceptable proposal was unreasonable. We deny the protest. The solicitation, issued July 18, 1997, contemplated the award of a firm, fixed-price contract for a base year with a 1-year option. The RFP was for grounds maintenance services at 11 installations on the south side of the isthmus of Panama.
