This version has been approved for public release. Decision Matter of: SWR, Inc. File: B-294835; B-294835.2 Date: December 20, 2004 Benjamin M. Bowden, Esq., Albrittons, Clifton, Alverson, Moody & Bowden, for the protester. Edward E. Duryea for John Demosthenes Company, LLC, an intervenor. J.R.

Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest challenging evaluation of protester's proposal is denied where record shows that agency evaluated proposal consistent with solicitation's evaluation scheme. DECISION SWR, Inc. protests the award of a contract to John Demosthenes Company, LLC under U.S. Marine Corps request for proposals (RFP) No. M00263-04-R-0001, issued as a small business set-aside for uniform alterations. SWR argues that the Corps improperly evaluated its proposal. We deny the protest. The RFP contemplated the award of a fixed-price requirements contract for a base period of I year, with 4 option years, to alter military uniforms for new recruits and training personnel at Parris Island, South Carolina. The solicitation provided for a best value evaluation of the technical proposal (most important), past performance (second in importance), and price. There were three technical evaluation factors: understanding the scope of work and ability to perform (most important, two subfactors); understanding the managerial effort required and ability to meet that effort (second in importance, three subfactors); and personnel planning (equal to the previous factor, no subfactors). There were two past performance factors: a review of Department of Defense contracts with a value greater than $500,000, and review of uniform alteration contracts within the past 10 years that demonstrate corporate experience similar in nature and magnitude to the solicitation effort.
