[Protest of DeCA Contract Award for Design and Construction Services]

A firm protested a Defense Commissary Agency (DeCA) contract award for construction services, contending that DeCA improperly evaluated its bid under the technical and experience evaluation factors. GAO held that DeCA reasonably (1) determined that the awardee's higher-rated, higher-priced proposal met its needs, and (2) evaluated the protester's bid in accordance with the solicitation's evaluation factors. Accordingly, the protest was denied.
