This redacted version has been approved for public release. Matter of: Interlo g, Inc. File: B-282139 Date: April 27, 1999 James P. Gallatin, Jr., Esq., Richard L. Moorhouse, Esq., and Andrew J. Hungerman, IV, Esq., Reed Smith Shaw & McClay, for the protester. John W. Chierichella, Esq., Anne B. Perry, Esq., and Timothy W. Staley, Esq., Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson, for Science Applications International Corporation; and Stuart Young, Esq., for DynCorp Aerospace Technology, interveno rs. Scott J. Goldsmith, Esq., and Evelyn S. Tang, Esq., Department of Justice, for the agency. Ralph 0. White, Esq., and Christine S. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST In a negotiated procurement with a stated best value evaluation plan, a contracting agency reasonably may assign a technically acceptable proposal fewer than the maximum possible points, and reserve additional points for proposals that exceed the solicitation's requirements, where such rating is reasonable and consistent with the evaluation methodology applied to all proposals. DECISION Interlog, Inc. protests the award of contracts to Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) and DynCorp Aerospace Technology pursuant to request for proposals (RFP) No. JPCRM-98-0010, issued by the Department of Justice for supplies and services to support the Criminal Division's International Criminal Investigative Training Assistance Program (ICITAP) and the Office of Overseas Prosecutorial Development, Assistance and Training (OPDAT). Interlog argues that the agency improperly reserved too many of the available evaluation points for proposals that exceeded the solicitation's stated requirements, thus unfairly prejudicing offerors whose proposals met, but did not exceed, the requirements. In Interlog's view, this approach led to agency assessments that relied upon unstated evaluation criteria.
