         Matter of:   Bethel-Webcor JV

         File:        B-410772

         Date:        February 12, 2015

         Jonathan A. DeMella, Esq., Davis Wright Tremaine LLP, for the protester.
         Katie Slayton, Esq., Paul Clay, Esq., Naval Facilities Engineering Command, for the
         agency.
         Gary R. Allen, Esq., and Christina Sklarew, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
         GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
         DIGEST

         1. Protest that an agency unreasonably failed to consider the experience and past
         performance of a protester's affiliate is denied where the protester's proposal did
         not establish that the affiliate would have any meaningful involvement in contract
         performance.

         2. Protest that an agency did not evaluate the protester's proposal in accordance
         with the solicitation's terms, and applied unstated evaluation criteria, is denied
         where the record reflects that the agency's evaluation was consistent with terms of
         solicitation.
         DECISION

         Bethel-Webcor JV, of Anchorage, Alaska, protests its exclusion from the second
         phase of competition under request for proposals (RFP) No. N62473-14-R-0001,
         issued by the Department of the Navy for the award of three or more indefinite-
         delivery, indefinite-quantity (ID/IQ) multiple-award contracts for construction and
         repair work at various locations within the Southwest United States. The protester
         challenges the agency's evaluation of Bethel-Webcor's proposal.
