File: B-261857.2 Date: November 9, 1995 Phillip E. Lantz for the protester. David C. Rickard, Esq., Defense Nuclear Agency, for the agency. Mary G. Curcio, Esq., and David A. Ashen, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest against elimination of proposal from the competitive range is denied where agency reasonably concluded that proposal to convert Ukrainian military shipyard to civilian use was based on unsupported assumptions that rendered success questionable and made project too risky to fund. DECISION Systems Planning and Analysis, Inc. (SPA) protests the elimination from the competitive range of the proposal it submitted in response to request for proposals (RFP) No. DNA001-94-R-0084, issued by the Defense Nuclear Agency. We deny the protest. The solicitation was issued pursuant to the Cooperative Threat Reduction Program, under which efforts are to be made to assist the states that formerly comprised the Soviet Union in converting and privatizing defense-oriented enterprises from military manufacture to the manufacture of consumer products and infrastructure support. Offerors were required to propose a plan to assist one or more of 32 listed facilities, located in the Ukraine, in the conversion process with monetary investment, training, and support. The solicitation provided that offers would be evaluated based upon the following criteria: (1) business and technical evaluation, (2) leveraging (government vs. contractor investment), (3) proposed business entity, (4) impact of product, (5) long term growth and commitment, (6) conversion, (7) speed and visibility, and (8) impact on U.S. and Ukrainian industry and economy. DNA received 18 proposals in response to the solicitation. The proposals were evaluated and the nine top-ranked proposals, with scores between 83.9 and 70.0, were considered acceptable and included in the competitive range. SPA's proposal, which received a score of 41.4 and was ranked 16th, was excluded from the 430118
