          File:        B-403475.2

          Date:        February 15, 2011

          Lillian K. Mauldin, for the protester.
          Richard D. Lieberman, Esq., Garry S. Grossman, Esq., and Gabriel D. Soll, Esq.,
          McCarthy, Sweeney  & Harkaway, P.C., for the intervenor.
          CPT  Tudo Pham, Department of the Army, for the agency.
          Eric M. Ransom, Esq., and Edward T. Goldstein, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
          GAO,  participated in the preparation of the decision.
          DIGEST

          Protest that agency improperly excluded protester from the competitive range is
          denied where record shows that evaluation was reasonable and consistent with the
          solicitation's evaluation criteria.
          DECISION

          Tiger Enterprises, Inc., protests its elimination from the competitive range under
          request for proposals (RFP) No. W91247-10-R-0017, a small business set-aside issued
          by the Department of the Army for the lease of washers and dryers.

          We  deny the protest.

          The Army  Mission & Installation Contracting Command issued the RFP on June 30,
          2010, for the purpose of awarding a requirements contract for the lease of washers
          and dryers at Fort Bragg, Simmons Army Airfield, and Camp Mackall, North
          Carolina. The RFP contemplated a best value source selection considering past
          performance and price, with past performance being more important than price. The
          RFP  stated that past performance would be rated on an adjectival scale of excellent,
          good, adequate, marginal, poor, and neutral. The RFP also advised that price would
          not be assigned an adjectival rating, but that unreasonably high or unrealistically
          low proposed prices may be grounds for eliminating a proposal from the competitive
          range. RFP at 59.
