         J. Anthony Bryan, Esq., for the protester.
         Dorn C. McGrath III, Esq., and Scott Arnold, Esq., Greenberg Traurig, for Primavera

         DIGEST

         1. Protest of agency's proposed award of a sole-source contract for support and
         consulting services for a program management information system is denied where
         the record shows that the agency reasonably concluded that only one firm is capable
         of meeting the agency's needs.

         2. Protest of alleged improper bundling of procurement requirements is denied
         where the record shows that the requirements that the protester contends should not
         be bundled are not, in fact, part of the solicitation at issue in the protest.
         DECISION

         MFVega  & Associates, LLC protests the proposed award of a contract on a sole-
         source basis to Primavera Systems, Inc., under request for proposals (RFP) No.
         DACA87-03-R-0005, used by the Army Corps of Engineers (COE), Engineering and
         Support Center, Huntsville (CEHNC), for support and consulting services in
         furtherance of the agency's program and program management information system 2
         (P2) project. MFVega contends that the agency's determination that only one
         responsible source could satisfy the agency's requirements was flawed and the result
         of the improper bundling of requirements.


We deny the protest.
