           DIGEST

           Protest that agency improperly determined protester's proposal to be technically
           unacceptable is denied where the proposal failed to comply with the solicitation's
           requirements relating to proof of licenses for key personnel.
           DECISION

           Wegco, Inc., of Washington, D.C., protests the award of a contract by the General
           Services Administration (GSA) to PM Services Company, of St. Petersburg, Florida,
           under request for proposals (RFP) No. GS-1 1 P-i 1 -MA-C-0240, for building
           operation and maintenance services. Wegco contends that the agency improperly
           found the firm's proposal technically unacceptable.

           We deny the protest.

           BACKGROUND

           GSA published the RFP on July 11, 2011, as a small business set-aside seeking
           proposals to perform building operations and maintenance services at GSA's
           Nebraska Avenue Complex in Washington, D.C. RFP at 2. The RFP contemplated
           the award of a fixed-price contract with a 1-year base period and four 1-year
           options. RFP at B.5. Award was to be made on a lowest-priced technically-
           acceptable basis. RFP at 2. Technical acceptability was based on the evaluation of
           four factors: past performance, relevant experience, key personnel and
           management capabilities. RFP at 31.
