handle is hein.gao/gaopzl0001 and id is 1 raw text is: U.S. GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABILITY OFFICE 441 G St. N.W. 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: Royal Bridge, Inc. File: B-422263 Date: February 28, 2024 S. Leo Arnold, Esq., Ashley & Arnold, for the protester. Keith Bearden, McCormick Industrial Abatement Services, Inc., for the intervenor. Tarrah M. Beavin, Esq., Ronald Goodeyon, Esq., Cristy Park, Esq., and Skye Martin, Esq., Department of the Army, for the agency. Suresh S. Boodram, Esq., and Evan D. Wesser, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest challenging the agency's evaluation of the protester's proposal is denied where the record demonstrates that the agency's evaluation was reasonable and in accordance with the terms of the solicitation; an agency's evaluation is not unreasonable merely because the evaluation ratings assigned are not identical to those assigned in a prior procurement conducted by a different evaluation team for the same agency for similar requirements utilizing similar evaluation criteria. DECISION Royal Bridge, Inc., a small business of Palm Harbor, Florida, protests the award of a contract to McCormick Industrial Abatement Services, Inc., a small business of Little Rock, Arkansas, under request for proposals (RFP) No. W9127S-23-R-0011, issued by the Department of the Army, Corps of Engineers for rehabilitation services at the Arthur V. Ormond Lock and Dam near Morrilton, Arkansas. The protester contends that the agency's evaluation of its proposal as only warranting acceptable ratings under two of the four non-price evaluation factors was unreasonable because the protester's proposal received lower ratings than what the protester received under a previous, separate RFP for substantially similar work with the same agency. We deny the protest.
