File: B-408558 Date: November 8, 2013 Jerry A. Esq., Deale Services, LLC, for the protester. Claude P. Goddard, Esq., Polsinelli PC, for FCi Federal, Inc., an intervenor. Barbara Walthers, Esq., Department of Homeland Security, for the agency. Frank Maguire, Esq., and David A. Ashen, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Agency reasonably downgraded protester's technical proposal where proposal to furnish support services failed to satisfy solicitation requirements that offerors (1) describe the methods to be used to maintain daily operations at agency sites, and (2) justify what levels of staffing and skill mix would be necessary and appropriate to fulfill the performance work statement requirements. 2. Agency reasonably downgraded protester's proposal under small business subcontracting factor where the discrepancies and errors in the proposal with regard to the use of subcontractors were such that the agency could not determine how proposed subcontractor goals were derived or whether offeror clearly committed to meeting the required small business subcontracting goal. DECISION CMI Management, Inc. (CMI), of Alexandria, Virginia, protests the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), United States Citizenship and Immigration Services' (USCIS), decision to exclude CMI's proposal from the competitive range under request for proposals (RFP) No. HSSCCG-1 3-R-00002, for field office support services. CMI asserts that the agency unreasonably evaluated its proposal. We deny the protest.
