handle is hein.gao/gaocrptafyp0001 and id is 1 raw text is: Comptroller General of the United States Washington, D.C. 20548 Decision Matter of: The Staubach Company File: B-276486 Date: May 19, 1997 David M. Nadler, Esq., and C. Ernest Edgar IV, Esq., Dickstein, Shapiro, Morin & Oshinsky, LLP, for the protester. Emily C. Hewitt, Esq., and Barry D. Segal, Esq., General Services Administration, for the agency. Aldo A. Benejam, Esq., and Christine S. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Agency properly rejected a hand-carried offer as late where the price proposal was timely submitted, but the required technical and key personnel portions of the proposal were not submitted before the closing time set for receipt of offers. 2. Where solicitation required offerors to submit price, technical, and key personnel proposals, each in separate volumes, and the technical and key personnel areas represented a significant portion of the technical evaluation, record reasonably supports agency's determination that allowing protester to submit technical and key personnel proposals after the date set for receipt of proposals would be tantamount to the improper acceptance of a late proposal. DECISION The Staubach Company protests the rejection of its proposals under request for proposals (RFP) No. GS-02P-96-CVD-0006, issued by the General Services Administration (GSA) for real estate services. The GSA rejected Staubach's proposals because, although the protester timely submitted price proposals, the required technical and key personnel proposals were not submitted by the time established in the RFP for receipt of proposals. We deny the protest. The successful contractor is to assist GSA in obtaining leasehold interests and provide a variety of other real estate-related services nationwide. For evaluation and administration purposes, the RFP divided the United States and territories into four geographic regions or service zones, and required offerors to submit separate proposals for each zone. Each proposal was to consist of three physically separate volumes--volume I (price proposal); volume II (technical proposal); and volume III
