Larkin, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Agency reasonably found protester's proposal ineligible for award where protester failed to propose prices for every labor category as required by the solicitation. DECISION Business Integra, Inc., of Greenbelt, Maryland, protests the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) decision not to award the firm a contract under the functional category 1, 8(a) small business track, of request for proposals (RFP) No. HSHQDC-1 1 -R-1 0001, which DHS issued for information technology (IT) services. Business Integra challenges DHS's determination that its proposal was noncompliant due to the firm's failure to propose labor rates for all labor categories. We deny the protest.
