           Date:       April 19, 2012

           Lawrence E. Osentoski, Jr., for the protester.
           Michael Kraycinovich, Esq., Department of the Army, for the agency.
           Matthew T. Crosby, Esq., John L. Formica, Esq., Glenn G. Wolcott, Esq., and

           DIGEST

           Agency's evaluation of the protester's proposal as adequate under two of the
           solicitation's evaluation factors, and elimination of the protester's proposal from the
           competitive range, are unobjectionable, where the evaluation was consistent with
           the terms of the solicitation and reasonably based.
           DECISION

           DRIVE Developments, Inc., of Clarkston, Michigan, protests the elimination of its
           proposal from the competitive range under request for proposals (RFP)
           No. W56HZV-1 1 -R-01 55, issued by the Department of the Army, for a pilot
           condition-based maintenance (CBM) program for Army vehicles. DRIVE argues
           that the agency's evaluation of DRIVE's proposal was unreasonable and was the
           result of bias against DRIVE.

           We deny the protest.

           using portable equipment. Id. The successful contractor here will provide the
