C. 20548 FILE: B-185754 DATE: August 2, 1976 MATTER OF: Jet International, Inc. 78< DIGEST: Agency properly rejected protester's proposal prior to conducting discussions with other offerors, where unrebutted evidence indicates that such proposal did not represent a reasonable initial effort to address itself to the essential requirements of the RFP and therefore was unacceptable. Jet International, Inc. (Jet) protests the rejection of its proposal for On/Off-Site Programming and Analysis Support Services submitted in response to Request for Proposals (RFP) No. 5-19300-153 issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), Goddard Space Flight Center. The protester claims that NASA acted arbitrarily and capriciously in discontinuing its evaluation prior to accept- ing revisions which might have cured the infirmities noted in its initial proposal. NASA's.decision to reject Jet's proposal without discussion was communicated to Jet by letter of January 12, 1976, advising the protester that the Source Evaluation Board (SEB) found the proposal unacceptable because it did not represent a reasonable initial effort to address itself to the essential requirements of the RFP. The specific grounds for discontinuing evaluation of Jet's proposal were stated as follows: 1. There is no indication that any of the proposed resumed personnel are currently, or could be, employed by Jet International, Inc. 2. There is no indication that facilities for off-site support are available or will be available. 3. The required level of effort cited in Part 3 of the RFP was not addressed in the cost proposal. - 1-
