DIGEST

Protest challenging contracting agency's evaluation of protester's proposal and its
exclusion from the competitive range is denied where agency's evaluation and
competitive range determination were reasonable and in accordance with the
solicitation's evaluation criteria.
DECISION

lAP World Services, Inc., of Cape Canaveral, Florida, protests the Department of
the Army's decision to eliminate its proposal from the competitive range under
request for proposals (RFP) No. W9124B-1 1 -R-001 9, for installation support
services at Fort Irwin, California. lAP argues that the Army's evaluation of its
proposal, and decision to eliminate it from the competitive range, were
unreasonable.

We deny the protest.
