          DIGEST

          Protest that agency improperly excluded submission from the competitive range in a
          procurement to select a developer to improve military housing pursuant to the
          Military Housing Privatization Initiative is denied where the record shows the
          evaluation was reasonable and consistent with the evaluation factors save for two
          challenged weaknesses, and where any agency error in these two areas did not
          prejudice the protester.
          DECISION

          The Community Partnership LLC (CP) protests the exclusion of its submission from
          the competitive range under request for qualifications (RFQ) No. DACA02-00-R-0002,
          issued by the Department of the Army, Corps of Engineers, to select a developer to
          improve the military housing at Fort George G. Meade, Maryland, pursuant to the
          Military Housing Privatization Initiative. CP primarily contends that the Army
          improperly evaluated its submission.

          We deny the protest.

          BACKGROUND

          The Department of Defense (DOD) owns approximately 200,000 family housing units
          that require renovation or replacement. See Military Housing Privatization Web Site,
          <http://www.acq.osd.mil/installation/hrso/about.htm>. To improve housing more
          economically and more quickly than if only the traditional military construction
          approach were used, in 1996 Congress enacted legislation authorizing a 5-year pilot
