         DIGEST

         Protest challenging the agency's evaluation of the protester's proposal and
         exclusion from the competitive range is denied, where the record shows that the
         proposal did not clearly address information required under the solicitation, and the
         agency reasonably concluded that the protester's proposal was not among the most
         highly-rated proposals.
         DECISION

         22nd Century Technologies, Inc., of McLean, Virginia, protests the award of a
         contract to Interlmage, Inc., of Arlington, Virginia, under request for proposals (RFP)
         No. DTFR5315R001 15, issued by the Department of Transportation, Federal
         Railroad Administration (FRA) for data and knowledge management support
         services. 22nd Century argues that the agency unfairly evaluated its proposal and
         excluded its proposal from the competitive range.

         We deny the protest.

         BACKGROUND

         The RFP, issued on September 4, 2015, sought proposals from participants in the
         Small Business Administration's (SBA) 8(a) Business Development Program for the
         award of an indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract for data and knowledge
