Decision


Matter of:   Korea Engineering Consultants Corporation

File:     B-422203.2;   B-422204.2

Date:     February   16, 2024

Song Yong  Eui, Esq., Central IP & Law, for the protester.
Andrew  J. Smith, Esq., Natalie W. McKiernan, Esq., Bruce A. Nessler, Esq., Nolan T.
Koon, Esq., Dmitrius R. McGruder, Esq., and Nhu T. Tran, Esq., Department of the
Army, for the agency.
Christine Milne, Esq., Todd C. Culliton, Esq., and Tania Calhoun, Esq., Office of the
General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
DIGEST

Protests that the agency unreasonably evaluated the protester's proposals are denied
where the record shows that the agency reasonably determined that the proposals did
not adequately address the requirements of the solicitations.
DECISION

Korea Engineering Consultants Corporation (KECC) protests its exclusion from the
awards of two multiple-award indefinite-delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contracts
issued under request for proposals (RFP) No. W91 QVN-23-R-0026 and RFP
No. W91 QVN-23-R-0027   by the Department of the Army for general construction
services to be provided at United States Forces Korea facilities in the Republic of
Korea. The protester contends that the agency unreasonably evaluated its proposals
as technically unacceptable.1


1 Our discussion here pertains to both solicitations referenced above. The solicitations
are identical to each other, except that they are funded by different sources; RFP No.
W91 QVN-23-R-0026   is funded with logistics cost sharing funds, and RFP No.
W91 QVN-23-R-0027   is funded with operation and maintenance funds. Contracting
Officer's Statement (COS) at 1. Because the solicitations are identical in content, and
the protest allegations and the majority of the pleadings and supporting documents are
essentially the same, including the technical evaluations for each proposal, we cite only
to RFP No. W91 QVN-23-R-0026   and B-422203.2's pleadings and record for ease of
reference and refer to only one proposal.
