handle is hein.gao/gaobadrpf0001 and id is 1 raw text is: G A O Comptroller General Accountability * Integrity * Reliability of the United States United States Government Accountability Office Washington, DC 20548 Decision Matter of: Trade Eastern, Inc. File: B-411857 Date: November 9, 2015 Douglas F. Trumbower, for the protester. Richard L. Carr Jr., Esq., Dunlevey, Mahan & Furry, for Butt Construction Company, Inc., an intervenor. Jennifer M. Payton, Esq., Department of the Army, for the agency. Katherine I. Riback, Esq., and Jonathan L. Kang, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest of the exclusion of the protester's proposal from phase I of a two-phase design-build competition is denied where the agency reasonably found that the protester was not among the most highly-qualified offerors, and therefore did not qualify to proceed to the phase II competition. DECISION Trade Eastern, Inc., of Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, a small business, protests the exclusion of its proposal under phase I of a two-step competition under request for proposals (RFP) No. W912QR-15-R-0026, which was issued by the Department of the Army, Army Corps of Engineers, for the renovation and repair of the Ashley, Pennsylvania Army Reserve Center and organizational maintenance structure. We deny the protest.' 1 Our Office did not issue a protective order in connection with this protest because Trade Eastern elected not to retain counsel eligible for admission under a protective order. A full version of the agency report was provided to our Office, while a redacted version of the report was furnished to the parties. Consequently, our discussion regarding the agency's evaluation of offerors' proposals is general in nature because information in those evaluations may be proprietary to the offerors. We have reviewed the entire unredacted record in camera.
