          DIGEST

          Protest against elimination of protester's proposal from competitive range is denied
          where  record supports reasonableness of the agency's evaluation of protester's
          proposal as technically unacceptable.
          DECISION

          AH  Computer Consulting, Inc. (AHCC) of Rockville, Maryland, protests the
          elimination of its proposal from the competitive range under request for proposals
          (RFP) No. 2608080056, issued by the Department of the Interior, National Park
          Service (NPS) for the acquisition of a Service-wide Point of Sale (POS) System for
          collection, accounting, and centralized reporting of NPS fee revenues. The protester
          argues that the evaluation of its proposal was unreasonable.

          We  deny the protest.

          BACKGROUND

          The RFP  sought to procure a standardized commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) POS
          system consisting of a Centralized Point of Sale Database (CPOSD), which is to be
          housed in Denver, Colorado, and POS configurations, i.e., equipment and software to
          be used in collection locations in parks. Functions to be performed by the CPOSD
          include the capture of fee-collection data from the POS configurations and other
          external sources; remittance, deposit, and accountability for all collected funds; and
          reporting on all fee-collecting activities. Functions to be provided by the POS
          configurations include collections of park entrance and other fees by NPS staff,
