         DIGEST

         Agency  properly downgraded protester's proposal to perform occupational medical
         services where the agency reasonably concluded that protester's proposed
         proprietary computer system posed numerous risks, and when specifically advised
         of these risks during discussions, the protester responded by providing only general
         assurances and unsupported conclusions regarding its system's capabilities.
         DECISION

         Comprehensive  Health Services, Inc. (CHS) protests the award of a contract to
         AdvanceMed   Corp. (an affiliate of Computer Sciences Corp.), under request for
         proposals (RFP) No. DE-RPO6-03RL14383, issued by the Department of Energy
         (DOE), for occupational medical services.

         We  deny the protests.

         The RFP  was issued for occupational medical services to support the approximately
         11,000 personnel currently working on or near DOE's Hanford site. The Hanford site
         consists of 586 square miles of land in southeastern Washington, and for almost
         50 years was dedicated to plutonium production for the nation's nuclear arsenal.
         Agency  Report (AR) at 2. As a result of the plutonium production operations,
         Hanford has become the nation's largest environmental cleanup project. Id.
