This redacted version has been approved for public release. Matter of: Techsys Corporation File: B-278904.3 Date: April 13, 1998 Kenneth D. Brody, Esq., and J. Patrick McMahon, Esq., McMahon, David & Brody, for the protester. Paralee White, Esq., Gadsby & Hannah, for Walcoff & Associates, an intervenor. Gena E. Cadieux, Esq., Patricia D. Graham, Esq., and Joseph A. Lenhard, Esq., Department of Energy, for the agency. Jacqueline Maeder, Esq., and Paul Lieberman, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Where solicitation proposal preparation instructions set forth type size and a clearly defined page limitation for proposals, agency appropriately declined to consider those pages of the protester's proposal which exceeded the specified page limitation. 2. Agency evaluation of technical proposals is unobjectionable where the record establishes that the evaluation was reasonable and consistent with the stated evaluation factors; protester's mere disagreement with the agency's conclusion does not render the evaluation unreasonable. DECISION Techsys Corporation protests the Department of Energy's (DOE) decision not to award Techsys a contract under request for proposals (RFP) No. DE-RP01- 97EI30000, issued by DOE for technical services for the Energy Information Administration (EIA).1 Techsys asserts that DOE improperly and arbitrarily eliminated certain pages of Techsys's proposal from consideration and otherwise improperly evaluated the proposal. We deny the protest. DOE issued the RFP, referred to as the EIA Omnibus Procurement (EOP), via the Internet on July 7, 1997. This solicitation, which combined technical support 1EIA is an independent statistical and analytical agency within DOE.
