handle is hein.gao/gaocrptalbl0001 and id is 1 raw text is: -e GeAtOa __Comptroller General of the United States United States General Accounting Office Washington, DC 20548 Decision Matter of: GTE HealthCare, Inc. File: B-284786 Date: June 6, 2000 William H. Miller for the protester. Robert E. Richardson, Jr., Esq., for Sherman Psychological Services, an intervenor. Merilee D. Rosenberg, Esq., Philip Kauffman, Esq., and Phillipa L. Anderson, Esq., Department of Veterans Affairs, for the agency. Jacqueline Maeder, Esq. and Paul Lieberman, Esq., participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest that agency improperly evaluated proposals is denied where the record shows that the evaluation was reasonable and consistent with the stated evaluation factors. 2. Agency determination to award to offeror whose proposal reflected overall technical superiority at a slightly higher price than protester is unobjectionable where solicitation provided that technical considerations were more important than price, and the agency reasonably concluded that the proposal's technical superiority warranted the extra associated cost. DECISION GHE HealthCare, Inc. (GTE) protests the award of a contract to Sherman Psychological Services (Sherman) under request for proposals (RFP) No. 549-7- 2000, issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), Medical Center Dallas, Texas, as a small business set-aside for readjustment counseling services. GTE argues principally that it should have received the award because of its lower price and that Sherman's proposal was improperly evaluated. The protester also asserts that the agency failed to provide notice that one of the protester's current employees represented its competition. We deny the protest.
