DIGEST

1. Protest challenging agency's evaluation of protester's proposal is denied where the
record shows the evaluation was reasonable and consistent with the solicitation's
evaluation criteria.

2. Protest of the exclusion of protester's proposal from the competitive range is denied
where the agency reasonably determined, consistent with the solicitation's evaluation
criteria, that the protester's proposal was not among the most highly rated.
DECISION

Focused Management, Inc. (FMI), a service-disabled veteran-owned small business
located in Alexandria, Virginia, protests the exclusion of its proposal from the
competitive range under request for proposals (RFP) No. HM0476-17-R-0007, issued
by the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA), for general support services
under Functional Area 1 of its MOJAVE program. The protester argues that the agency
improperly evaluated its proposal as unacceptable under the personnel security
clearance and technical capability evaluation subfactors, and engaged in disparate
treatment among the offerors. The protester also argues that the agency unreasonably
excluded FMI's proposal from the competitive range.


We deny the protest.
