Washington, DC 20548                                  The decision issued on the date below was subject to a
                                                      GAO Protective Order. This redacted version has been

          Decision

          Matter  of:  Ahtna Facility Services, Inc.

          File:        B-404913; B-404913.2

          Date:        June 30, 2011

          Robert K. Tompkins, Esq., Elizabeth M. Gill, Esq., and Joshua Clause, Esq., Patton
          Boggs LLP, for the protester.
          Erica S. Beardsley, Esq., Department of the Army, for the agency.
          Glenn G. Wolcott, Esq., and Sharon L. Larkin, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
          GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
          DIGEST

          1. Agency reasonably determined that protester's proposal contained multiple
          deficiencies and significant weaknesses that rendered the proposal technically
          unacceptable, and properly excluded the proposal from the competitive range.

          2. Agency's discussions with protester were meaningful where they reasonably led
          protester into the areas of its proposal that reflected deficiencies and significant
          weaknesses.
          DECISION

          Ahtna Facility Services, Inc. (AFSI), of Anchorage, Alaska, protests the Department
          of the Army's exclusion of AFSI's proposal from the competitive range under request
          for proposals (RFP) No. W81K04-1 1-R-0005 to provide healthcare environmental
          services for the San Antonio Military Medical Center-North (SAMMC-N) and other
          medical facilities at or around Fort Sam Houston, Texas. AFSI protests the agency's
          determination that AFSI's proposal was technically unacceptable, further
          maintaining that the agency improperly excluded AFSI's proposal from the
          competitive range, that the agency's discussions were inadequate, and that the
          agency was biased in its conduct of this procurement.


We  deny the protest.
