          DIGEST

          Protest of agency's rejection of proposal as technically unacceptable for failure to
          adequately demonstrate compliance with solicitation resume and start-up
          requirements is denied where record shows evaluation was reasonable and
          consistent with solicitation terms.
          DECISION

          Managed  Care Concepts, LLC protests the rejection of its proposal as technically
          unacceptable under request for proposals (RFP) No. W81K02-10-R-0005, issued by
          the Department of the Army for medical coding services. The protester primarily
          contends that the evaluation of its proposal was unreasonable and inconsistent with
          the terms of the solicitation.

          We  deny the protest.

          The RFP, which was  issued on December 3, 2009 and subsequently amended,
          anticipated the award of an indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract for certain
          medical coding services to the offeror that submitted the proposal considered the
          best value to the agency in terms of technical and price factors. RFP amend. No. 3
          at 5, RFP at 59. The RFP set out the following four equally-weighted non-price
          evaluation factors: technical expertise; management (staffing, retention, and quality

          1 The services sought, referred to as remote backfill medical coding services, are
          supplemental services to be provided during periods of staff loss, scheduled leave
          or unplanned staff absence due to illness or emergency. RFP at 35.
