           DIGEST

           Protest challenging agency's exclusion of protester's proposal is denied where
           protester's proposal omitted the required capability assessment plan, and any
           response to the surge and sustainment requirements in the solicitation, which were
           required for the agency's evaluation.
           DECISION

           MDV Nash Finch (MDV), of Norfolk, Virginia, protests its exclusion from competition
           under request for proposals (RFP) No. SPM300-13-R-0047 issued by the
           Department of Defense (DoD) for garrison feeding. MDV argues that the agency
           erred in excluding its proposal from competition.

           We deny the protest.

           The solicitation, issued on April 15, 2013, sought a contractor to provide food,
           beverage, and non-food items for garrison feeding for DoD and non-DoD customers
           in the North Carolina region. RFP at 42. The RFP anticipated the award of an
           indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (ID/lQ) contract for a base period of up to
           24 months, followed by one 12-month and one 24-month option period. Id. The
           estimated contract value was $125 million. Id. The RFP advised that the award
           would be made on a lowest-priced, technically-acceptable basis considering price,
           past performance, and the following technical factors: experience; quality control
