This redacted version has been approved for public release. Decision Matter of: Resource Title Agency, Inc. File: B-402484.2 Date: May 18, 2010 William T. Schill, Esq., for the protester. James S. DelSordo, Esq., Argus Legal, LLC, for Lakeside Escrow & Title Agency, Inc., an intervenor. Elisa J. Yochim, Esq., Department of Housing and Urban Development, for the agency. Jennifer D. Westfall-McGrail, Esq., and Christine S. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest challenging evaluation of protester's proposal is denied where the record shows that agency evaluation was reasonable and consistent with the solicitation. DECISION Resource Title Agency, Inc., of Independence, Ohio, protests the rejection of its proposal and the award of a contract to Lakeside Title & Escrow Agency, Inc., also of Independence, Ohio, under request for proposals (RFP) No. R-CHI-00991, issued by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for real estate property sales closing services for the state of Ohio. The protester objects to the agency's evaluation of proposals and to its decision to award only one contract. We deny the protest. BACKGROUND The solicitation explains that when a borrower defaults on a loan insured by the Federal Housing Administration, the lender may file a claim for insurance benefits with the agency; in exchange for payment of the benefits, the lender conveys the foreclosed property to HUD, which then sells it. The closing services sought here are in support of these sales.
