Washington, DC 20548                                The decision issued on the date below was subject to a

          Decision

          Matter of:  Clapp & Mayne, a Division of Renaissance Information Systems, Inc.

          File:       B-292904

          Date:       December  29, 2003

          Jeffrey P. Hildebrant, Esq., and William T. Welch, Esq., Barton, Baker, McMahon,
          Hildebrant & Tolle, for the protester.
          Diane A. Perone, Esq., Agency for International Development, for the agency.
          Glenn G. Wolcott, Esq., and Michael R. Golden, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
          GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
          DIGEST

          Protester's proposals were properly excluded from the competitive range where
          agency reasonably identified multiple deficiencies and/or weaknesses in protester's
          proposed technical approach to performing the solicitation requirements for each
          performance sector, and concluded that, without major revisions, neither proposal
          had a reasonable chance of being selected for award.
          DECISION

          Clapp & Mayne, a Division of Renaissance Information Systems, Inc. (C&M), protests
          the U.S. Agency for International Development's (USAID) exclusion of C&M's
          proposals from the competitive range under request for proposals (RFP)
          No. M/OP-02-026 to provide technical assistance and support in furtherance of
          USAID objectives to stabilize world population and protect human health. C&M
          protests that the agency improperly determined that C&M's technical proposals
          contained multiple weaknesses and/or deficiencies.

          We deny the protest.

          BACKGROUND

          The solicitation was issued on January 17, 2003, seeking proposals to provide
          technical assistance and support to USAID in the following three performance
          sectors: (1) child health, maternal health and nutrition, population, human
          immunodeficiency virus/acquired immune deficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) and
          infectious diseases (collectively referred to as the global health sector);
          (2) tuberculosis; and (3) media relations, public opinion, polling and advocacy
