handle is hein.gao/gaocrptajmn0001 and id is 1 raw text is: -e GeAtOa __Comptroller General of the United States United States General Accounting Office DOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE Washington, DC 20548 The decision issued on the date below was subject to a GAO Protective Order. This redacted version has been approved for public release. Decision Matter of: Communication Technologies, Inc. File: B-283491; B-283491.2 Date: November 30, 1999 Lee P. Curtis, Esq., Scott Arnold, Esq., W. Hartman Young, Esq., and Linda A. Mayer, Esq., Howrey & Simon, for the protester. Andrew P. Hallowell, Esq., Pamela J. Mazza, Esq., and Antonio R. Franco, Esq., Piliero, Mazza & Pargament, for ARTEL, Inc., an intervenor. H. Jack Shearer, Esq., and McKenzie Whitaker, Esq., Defense Information Systems Agency, 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 Protester's contentions that the agency unreasonably evaluated its proposal with an eye toward ensuring that the awardee would prevail (after the source selection authority directed a reevaluation of proposals in certain areas before making his selection decision) is denied where the record shows no evidence of bad faith on the part of the agency evaluators, and where the evaluation was reasonable and in accordance with stated evaluation criteria. DECISION Communication Technologies, Inc. (Comtek) protests the award of a contract to ARTEL, Inc. by the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA), pursuant to request for proposals (RFP) No. DCA200-98-R-0060, issued to procure engineering services in support of the Defense Switched Network (DSN), the Defense Information Systems Network (DISN), and other related networks. Comtek argues that the agency's selection decision was improperly based on unreasonable evaluation conclusions in the areas of past performance and experience, and an unreasonable view that the ARTEL proposal offered a better approach to working with DISA's large business network support contractor. We deny the protest.
