This redacted version has been approved for public release. Matter of: GCI Information Services, Inc. File: B-282074 Date: May 28, 1999 Robert M. Nutt, Esq., for the protester. Thomas F. Williamson, Esq., Stacey L. Valerio, Esq., and Mary D. Walsh, Esq., Morgan, Lewis & Bockius, for TeleSec CORESTAFF, an intervenor. Terrence J. Tychan, National Institutes of Health, for the agency. Linda C. Glass, Esq., and Paul I. Lieberman, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest that in evaluating offerors' experience agency applied an allegedly undisclosed criterion of whether offerors had handled a volume of shelving comparable to that required under the solicitation is denied where the solicitation put offerors on notice that similarity of experience would be considered. 2. Protest that the contracting agency misevaluated the protester's proposal under the criterion of understanding the requirement is denied where record shows that the evaluation was reasonable; protester's mere disagreement does not render the agency's judgment unreaso nable.
