          Decision

          Matter of:   Decypher Technologies Ltd.

          File:        B-405511.2

          Date:        November 18, 2011

          Johnathan M. Bailey, Esq., and Christopher G. Burwell, Esq., Bailey & Bailey, P.C.,
          for the protester.
          Maj. John C. Dohn II, Department of the Army, for the agency.
          Paul N. Wengert, Esq., and Sharon L. Larkin, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
          GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
          DIGEST

          Agency reasonably rejected protester's proposal as unacceptable where the
          proposal stated assumptions that were contrary to the requirements in the RFP and
          failed to adequately describe a significant aspect of the protester's approach.
          DECISION

          Decypher Technologies Ltd., of San Antonio, Texas, a small business, protests the
          rejection of its proposal as unacceptable, and the subsequent award of contracts to
          eight firms,1 by the Department of the Army under request for proposals (RFP)
          No. W911 SO-11 -R-001 1 for training services to support the distributed learning
          program at the Army Training and Doctrine Command schools. Decypher argues
          that its proposal was misevaluated.

          We deny the protest.
