File: B-271079; B-271079.2 Date: May 20, 1996 Jacob B. Pompan, Esq., and Gerald H. Werfel, Esq., Pompan, Ruffner & Werfel, for the protester. J.

Mary G. Curcio, Esq., and John M. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Where contracting officer clearly based competitive range recommendation on the proposal evaluation performed by the technical evaluation panel, protest that contracting officer misrepresented to source selection official protester's ability to perform the contract is without merit. 2. Protester's proposal was properly eliminated from the competitive range where proposal was evaluated as having numerous serious deficiencies, such that it would have to be substantially rewritten to be considered for award, and protester fails to show that evaluation conclusions were unreasonable. DECISION Resource Applications, Inc. (RAI) protests the elimination of its proposal from the competitive range under request for proposals (RFP) No. D500055R1, issued by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for performance of Environmental Service Assistance Team (ESAT) support services for various EPA programs. We deny the protest. The solicitation was issued on May 1, 1995, for ESAT support services for four separate geographical areas. This protest concerns region IV, which was set aside for small business concerns. Award was to be based on a best value analysis using the following evaluation factors (with relative weight, out of 1,000 points): management (300), personnel (300), technical (200), corporate experience (100), and sample situation scenarios (100). Technical merit was more important than cost in the award decision. 230521
