DIGEST
1. Protest challenging agency's evaluation of technical risk in awardee's proposal is
denied where the record shows that the agency reasonably assessed technical risk in
accordance with the stated evaluation criteria.
2. Protest that agency failed to perform price realism analysis is dismissed where the
solicitation neither expressly required a price realism evaluation nor included language
that contemplated the performance of a price realism evaluation.
3. Protest of agency's best-value tradeoff decision is denied where the award decision
was adequately documented, reasonable, and consistent with the solicitation.
DECISION
Facility Services Management, Inc. (FSMI) of Clarksville, Tennessee, protests the
issuance of a task order to Valiant Government Services, LLC, of Herndon, Virginia,
under request for proposal (RFP) No. W912DY-21-F-XXXX, issued by the Department
of the Army, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, for operation and maintenance services
supporting medical facilities at Travis Air Force Base, California. FSMI argues that the
agency unreasonably evaluated Valiant's technical risk and price, and asserts that the
agency's best-value tradeoff analysis was flawed.

We dismiss the protest in part and deny the protest in part.
