         DIGEST

         Protest challenging the exclusion of the protester's proposal from the competition
         for failing to comply with a material solicitation instruction, which prohibited
         modification of the solicitation's cost/price template, is denied where the record
         demonstrates that the agency's noncompliance determination was reasonable and
         consistent with the solicitation's instructions.
         DECISION

         LOGMET LLC, a small business, of Round Rock, Texas, challenges its exclusion
         from the competition for a task order under request for proposals (RFP)
         No. W52P1 J-1 5-R-0047, which was issued by the Department of the Army, Army
         Contracting Command-Rock Island, for logistics services at Fort Rucker, Alabama,
         and Eglin Air Force Base, Florida, as part of the Enhanced Army Global Logistics
         Enterprise (EAGLE) program. LOGMET argues that the Army unreasonably
         excluded its proposal from the competition for allegedly modifying the required
         cost/price matrix in violation of the RFP's proposal preparation instructions.

         We deny the protest.

         BACKGROUND

         The RFP was issued as a small business set-aside and sought proposals from
         EAGLE basic ordering agreement holders for logistics support services, including
         maintenance, supply, and transportation services at Fort Rucker, Alabama (Rucker
         North) and Eglin Air Force Base, Florida (Rucker South). RFP at 2. The RFP
