handle is hein.gao/gaocrptaeak0001 and id is 1 raw text is: Comptroller General of the United States Washington, D.C. 20548 Decision Matter of: Bollam, Sheedy, Torani & Co. File: B-270700 Date: April 11, 1996 Willard G. Reynolds for the protester. Jesse E. Lasken, Esq., National Science Foundation, for the agency. Susan K. McAuliffe, Esq., and John Van Schaik, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Agency reasonably excluded the protester's proposal from the competitive range where solicitation placed heavy emphasis on technical factors, protester's proposal ranked tenth in technical merit of 34 proposals, and protester's initial price was higher than seven of the eight proposals with higher technical scores that were included in the competitive range (the higher-priced proposal that was included in the competitive range received a significantly higher technical score than the protester's proposal), and the evaluation record supports the agency's determination that, based on initial proposals received, the protester had no reasonable chance for award. DECISION Bollam, Sheedy, Torani & Co., LLP, CPA protests the exclusion of its proposal from the competitive range under solicitation No. OIG-95016, issued by the National Science Foundation for financial audits and related services. Bollam generally contends that since it has not had performance problems under its current contract with the agency for similar services, the exclusion of its proposal was improper. We deny the protest. Thirty-four proposals were received in response to the solicitation and the agency, after considering both technical and cost, included the eight highest technically ranked proposals in the competitive range. Bollam's proposal was ranked tenth 511411
