The entire decision has now been approved for public release. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Grant Thornton, LLC B-413155.4 August 30, 2016 Alexander J. Brittin, Esq., Brittin Law Group, PLLC, for the protester. Kristen M. Nowadly, Esq., and Christopher Murphy, Esq., General Services Administration, for the agency. Glenn G. Wolcott, Esq., and Christina Sklarew, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Where solicitation required offerors to submit a particular document, warning that failure to submit that document as directed could result in exclusion from further consideration, the agency reasonably eliminated protester's proposal from consideration where protester failed to submit the required document. DECISION Grant Thornton, LLC, of Alexandria, Virginia, protests its elimination from consideration under request for proposals (RFP) No. GS02Q1 5CRR0001 (frequently referred to as the Human Capital and Training Solutions (HCaTS) solicitation) issued by the General Services Administration (GSA) to provide training and development services across the federal government.1 Grant Thornton asserts that the elimination of its proposal was improper. We deny the protest. 1 In April 2014, GSA and the Office of Personnel Management entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to improve how federal agencies obtain human resource training and development and human capital management services. RFP at 13. This procurement flows from that MOU.
