DIGEST Protest challenging the exclusion of protester's proposal from the competitive range is denied where the agency reasonably found that the proposal failed to address material requirements and was therefore technically unacceptable. DECISION Advanced Software Systems, Inc. (ASSYST), a small business located in Sterling, Virginia, challenges the exclusion of its proposal from the competitive range under request for proposals (RFP) No. SAQMMA16ROO29, issued by the Department of State (DOS) to provide technology services for software development lifecycle support, information technology services management (ITSM) and business process improvement for DOS's Bureau of Consular Affairs (CA), Office of Consular Systems and Technology (CST). The protester contends that the agency unreasonably evaluated its proposal under the RFP's technical approach, past performance, management approach, and key personnel evaluation factors.' 1 ASSYST further protested the award of a contract under the RFP to NetCentric Technology, LLC, alleging that the awardee possesses an unmitigable organizational conflict of interest (OCI). In response to this protest ground, the agency announced that it would take corrective action by reviewing and assessing whether an OCI existed, and would then determine if further action is required. Based on this announced corrective action, we dismissed this protest ground as academic.
