          DIGEST

          Protest of agency's evaluation of protester's proposal and award determination is
          denied where the record demonstrates that the evaluation and source selection were
          reasonable and consistent with the solicitation's evaluation factors for award.
          DECISION

          Blue Rock Structures, Inc. protests the award of a contract to Chianelli Building
          Corporation, Inc. under request for proposals (RFP) No. N62470-99-R-9152, issued by
          the Department of the Navy, Naval Facilities Engineering Command, for the
          construction of an Amphibious Operations Maintenance/Storage Complex at the
          Marine Corps Base, Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. Blue Rock challenges the
          agency's reevaluation of its proposal and the agency's affirmation of the award to
          Chianelli.' The protester, a newly-formed firm, challenges the agency's failure to
          credit the firm's proposal under the past performance and corporate experience
          evaluation factors for the experience of its principals while employed by other firms.


          1 By letter of June 1, 2001, Blue Rock filed an earlier protest (B-287960) with our
          Office against the award to Chianelli. In response to that protest, the agency agreed
          to reevaluate the protester's proposal; consequently, the protester withdrew that
          protest. Blue Rock's current protest concerns the agency's reevaluation of the firm's
          proposal.
