          Decision


          Matter of: Great South Bay Marina, Inc.

          File:        B-296335

          Date:        July 13, 2005

          Dominic S. Rizzo, Esq., for the protester.
          Anthony R. Conte, Esq., Department of the Interior, for the agency.
          Jennifer D. Westfall-McGrail, Esq., and Christine S. Melody, Esq., Office of the
          General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
          DIGEST

          1. Government Accountability Office (GAO) has jurisdiction over protest of award of
          National Park Service concession contract where prospectus, in addition to
          authorizing contractor to furnish concession services, requires contractor to furnish
          construction and rehabilitation services valued at over $1 million to the government.

          2. Where agency refuses to furnish an agency report responding to a protest, GAO
          will decide protest on the basis of the documents available, even if that record is
          limited to documents submitted by protester.

          3. Protest challenging agency's conclusion that awardee's proposal represented the
          best value to the government is denied where protester generally asserts that its
          offer is superior to awardee's but offers no specific or detailed argument, beyond a
          description of its proposal in one area (financial capability), to establish that the
          agency unreasonably concluded that its proposal did not represent the best value.
          DECISION

          Great South Bay Marina, Inc. protests the National Park Service's (NPS) award of a
          concession contract to Fire Island Concessions, LLC under prospectus
          No. CC-FIIS007-05, for concession services at Fire Island National Seashore.


We deny the protest.
