           Dr. Jyothi Gella, Gella LLC, for the protester.

           agency.

           DIGEST

           Protest that agency improperly evaluated protester's proposal as technically
           unacceptable is denied where the record provides no basis to question the agency's
           evaluation.
           DECISION

           Gella LLC, of Johnstown, Pennsylvania, protests the decision by the Department of
           Health and Human Services, National Institutes of Health (NIH), not to award the
           firm a contract under request for proposals (RFP) No. NIHOD2014001 for
           administrative support services. Gella argues that the agency improperly evaluated
           its proposal as technically unacceptable.

           We deny the protest.

           The solicitation, known as the Long Term Administrative Support Contract II
           (LTASCII), contemplates the award of multiple indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity
           contracts for the provision of long-term administrative support services across all of
           the NIH Institutes, Divisions, Centers and Offices. RFP § B.I. Contractors will be
           required to provide administrative support personnel over a 1-year base period and
           up to four 1-year option periods through the issuance of fixed-price task orders. Id.,
           § L.2.2. The administrative tasks to be provided are for such services as general
           office support, travel support, meeting support, mail support, property management
           support, and publications support. RFP § C.2.2.
