handle is hein.gao/gaocrptaeji0001 and id is 1 raw text is: Comptroller General of the United States Washington, D.C. 20548 Decision Matter of: Intown Properties, Inc. File: B-272524 Date: October 21, 1996 Melton Harrell for the protester. Mary C. Merchant, Esq., Department of Housing and Urban Development, for the agency. John Van Schaik, Esq., and Michael R. Golden, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Contracting agency reasonably excluded protester's proposal from the competitive range where the proposal was considered technically inferior to all of the competitive range proposals, and its price was substantially higher than two of the four competitive range proposals. DECISION Intown Properties, Inc. protests the exclusion of its proposal from the competitive range under request for proposals (RFP) No. H06R95006700000, issued by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for real estate asset manager (REAM) services. Intown challenges a number of alleged weaknesses listed by agency technical evaluators in the firm's proposal and argues that the evaluation process was superficial and included numerous other flaws. We deny the protest. The RFP contemplated the award of a firm, fixed-price, indefinite quantity contract for 1 year and 3 option years. Award was to be made to the responsible offeror whose proposal conformed to the solicitation and was most advantageous to the government, price and other factors considered. The RFP listed as technical evaluation factors (1) staff; (2) management plan; and (3) past/current contract performance and prior experience, and stated that the combined merit of these factors would be more significant than price in the selection decision. The agency received 15 proposals in response to the RFP. The contracting officer established a competitive range of four proposals, with the following technical scores and prices for the base and option years: 2541018
