Rowland, Esq., and Lane L. McVey, Esq., McKenna & Cuneo, for the protester. John R. Jefferies, Esq., Fennemore Craig, for Gutierrez-Palmenberg, Inc., an interveno r. Jeffrey I. Kessler, Esq., and Maj. Harry W. Longbottom, Department of the Army, for the agency. Tania L. Calhoun, Esq., and Christine S. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest that source selection authority (SSA) acted improperly when, in response to eventual awardee's agency-level protest of the exclusion of its proposal from the competitive range, she reevaluated a portion of the proposal and reinstated it in the competitive range is denied; the SSA acted within her authority and her reevaluation was reasonable and consistent with the solicitation's evaluation factors. 2. Protest that SSA improperly considered the proposals of the protester and the awardee to be tied under the performance risk evaluation factor when the performance risk assessment group found distinctions is denied where the record shows that the SSA's conclusions were reasonable and consistent with the solicitation's evaluation scheme; agency's failure to check all references listed in the proposal is unobjectionable. 3. Protest that no contemporaneous documentation exists to show that the SSA followed the solicitation's weighted basis for award scheme in making her award decision is denied where her post-protest explanation, which is consistent with the contemporaneous documentation, provides a detailed rationale for her decision which is sufficient for our Office to conclude that her decision was both consistent with the solicitation and reasonable. DECISION Jason Associates Corporation protests the award of a contract to Gutierrez- Palmenberg, Inc. (GPI) under request for proposals (RFP) No. DAADO1-97-R-0001, issued by the Department of the Army to obtain environmental support services at the U.S. Army Yuma Proving Ground (USAYPG) in Yuma, Arizona.
