Comptroller General Washington, DC 20548 of the United States DOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE The decision issued on the date below was subject to Decision a GAO Protective Order. This redacted version has been approved for public release Matter of: Szanca Solutions, Inc. File: B-422097 Date: January 17, 2024 Antonio R. Franco, Esq., Katherine B. Burrows, Esq., Jacqueline K. Unger, Esq., Patrick T. Rothwell, Esq., and Dozier L. Gardner Jr., Esq., Piliero Mazza PLLC, for the protester. Richard L. Moorhouse, Esq., and Christopher M. O'Brien, Esq., Greenberg Traurig LLP, for Global Dimensions, LLC., the intervenor. Lieutenant Colonel Michael R. Tregle, Captain Paula F. Barr, and Andrew J. Smith, Esq., Department of the Army, for the agency. Paula A. Williams, Esq., and Evan D. Wesser, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest that the agency failed to recognize multiple strengths in the protester's proposal and to assign a higher technical rating is denied where the record demonstrates that the agency's evaluation was reasonable and consistent with the terms of the solicitation. The protester's disagreement with the agency's evaluation judgment, without more, provides no basis to sustain the protest. 2. Protest that the source selection official improperly made award on a lowest-priced, technically acceptable basis instead of a best-value tradeoff basis is denied where the record reflects that the source selection official reasonably found that the protester's slight technical advantage did not warrant the associated cost/price premium. DECISION Szanca Solutions, Inc. (Szanca), a small business located in Bedford, Pennsylvania, protests the issuance of a task order to Global Dimensions, LLC (Global), a small business located in Fredericksburg, Virginia, under request for task order proposals (RFTOP) No. W50NH9-23-R-JRIC, issued by the Department of the Army, Army Contracting Command, for linguist/translation support services. Szanca alleges that the agency's evaluation of its proposal was unreasonable in various respects and challenges the best-value tradeoff decision. We deny the protest.
