                                                      GAO Protective Order. This redacted version has been

          Decision

          Matter of: SKE International, Inc.

          File:        B-311383; B-311383.2

          Date:        June 5, 2008

          William F. Savarino, Esq., John J. O'Brien, Esq., and Bryan T. Bunting, Esq., Cohen
          Mohr LLP, for the protester.
          Thomas Janczewski, Esq., and Mitchell W. Quick, Esq., Michael Best & Friedrich
          LLP, for All Star Services Corporation, an intervenor.
          Jana Lynn Strait, Esq., U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, for the agency.

          DIGEST

          1. Evaluation of protester's technical proposal was unobjectionable where agency
          reasonably found weaknesses associated with firm's timeliness of performance
          because of minor schedule delays in connection with some prior contracts;
          corporate experience, based on limited information regarding task orders; and
          management approach, based on questions regarding organizational structure and
          limited job order contract experience of key personnel.

          2. Agency reasonably evaluated awardee's past performance as very good
          notwithstanding some poor rating responses in limited areas of two Construction
          Contractor Appraisal Support System (CCASS) reports, where firm's rating was
          otherwise based on 5 past performance questionnaires and 11 other CCASS reports,
          all of which contained a significant majority of excellent, outstanding, and above
          average ratings.
          DECISION

          SKE, International Inc. protests the award of a contract to All Star Services
          Corporation (ASSC) under request for proposals (RFP) No. W912DQ-07-R-0040,
          issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for construction services at Fort
          Leavenworth, Kansas. SKE challenges the agency's technical evaluation.


We deny the protest.
