         DIGEST

         Protest that agency improperly excluded protester's proposal from the competitive
         range is denied where the record shows that the agency reasonably concluded that
         protester's proposal was not among the most highly rated proposals.
         DECISION

         Federal Acquisition Services Alliant Joint Venture (FASA), of Bowie, Maryland,
         protests the exclusion of its proposal from the competitive range by the General
         Services Administration (GSA), Information Technology Service, under solicitation
         No. ID05140054, issued under the GSA's Alliant Small Business government-wide
         acquisition contract, for information technology support for the United States
         Department of Agriculture's National Information Technology Center (NITC). FASA
         contends that the agency erred in rating its proposal unacceptable.

         We deny the protest.

         BACKGROUND

         The GSA issued the solicitation on December 19, 2014, seeking proposals for the
         performance of a single-award task order for one base year and four one-year
         option periods, to provide a wide range of information technology support services
