           DIGEST

           Protest objecting to exclusion of proposal from competitive range is denied where
           agency reasonably determined that proposal failed to demonstrate a
           comprehensive understanding of, and sound approach to meeting, solicitation
           requirements, and thus was unacceptable.

           NSR Solutions, Inc., of Rockville, Maryland, protests the exclusion of its proposal
           from the competitive range under request for proposals (RFP) No. NNJ1 1373245R,
           issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for custodial
           services at three NASA facilities (the Johnson Space Center, Ellington Field, and
           the Sonny Carter Training Facility) in Houston, Texas.' The protester argues that
           the evaluation of its proposal was unreasonable.
