Sheryl Black for Global Commerce Solutions, an intervenor. R. Rend Dupuy, Esq., Department of Labor, for the agency. Cherie J. Owen, Esq., and Ralph 0. White, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protester's contention that its proposal was improperly excluded from the competitive range is denied where the protester has not shown that the agency's evaluation was unreasonable or inconsistent with the stated evaluation criteria. DECISION Smart Innovative Solutions (SIS) of Columbia, Maryland, protests the exclusion of its proposal from the competitive range under request for proposals (RFP) No. DOL089RP20495, issued by the Department of Labor for administration of the Job Corps National Call Center. SIS argues that its proposal's exclusion from the competitive range was improper because the agency misevaluated its past performance and its technical and staffing proposals. We deny the protest. BACKGROUND This protest involves a procurement where the agency received and evaluated 21 proposals before concluding that 7 of them would be included in the competitive range. The protester--i of the 14 offerors whose proposals were not included in the competitive range--argues that the agency's evaluation of its proposal, and the agency's subsequent decision to exclude the proposal from further consideration, was unreasonable. For the reasons set forth in detail below, we disagree.
