handle is hein.gao/gaocrptaoeh0001 and id is 1 raw text is: G A 0 Comptroller General Accountability * Integrity* Reliability of the United States United States General Accounting Office Washington, DC 20548 Decision Matter of: Pflow Industries, Inc. File: B-289970 Date: May 20, 2002 Tom Archie for the protester. William J. Spriggs, Esq., Spriggs & Hollingsworth, for ACRA, Inc., an intervenor. Craig D. Haughtelin, Esq., Naval Supply Systems Command, for the agency. Paul E. Jordan, Esq., and John M. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest challenging technical evaluation of proposals is denied where agency reasonably found awardee's proposal entitled to higher ratings than protester's based on level of detail found in the proposals. 2. Past performance evaluation rating of satisfactory was reasonable, and did not require discussions, where it reasonably reflected agency's experience with protester's work on prior projects. DECISION Pflow Industries, Inc. protests the award of a contract to ACRA, Inc. under request for quotations (RFQ) No. N00406-01-T-1181, issued by the Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP) for design and installation of a vertical reciprocating conveyor (VRC) at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard (PSNS), Bremerton, Washington. Pflow challenges the agency's evaluation of its and ACRA's proposals. We deny the protest. The RFQ sought proposals to design, fabricate, install, and test an 8,000-pound capacity VRC for dry dock No. 2 at PSNS. The VRC is used to transport material and equipment to and from the bottom of the dry dock in support of repair and overhaul of naval warships. The VRC was to be a commercially available system, modified to fit its intended environment, and was to be designed such that it could be disassembled and stored/attached to a nearby building. The RFQ contemplated award of a fixed-price contract.
