             Date:        December 18, 1996

             Sam Zalman Gdanski, Esq., for the protesters.
             Capt. William R. Hinchman and Col. Nicholas P. Retson, Department of the Army,
             for the agency.
             Tania L. Calhoun, Esq., and Christine S. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
             GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
             DIGEST
             Protests that contracting agency improperly evaluated protesters' quotations as
             ''unqualified and ineligible for award because they failed to submit sufficient
             information for the agency to determine that they met a minimum mandatory
             qualification is denied where the record confirms the validity of the agency's
             evaluation; given the presence of at least four qualified individuals under each of
             the solicitations at issue, protesters are not interested parties to challenge the
             evaluation of the awardees' quotations since they would not be in line for award
             even if their protests were sustained.
             DECISION

             Lyudmila Franke, Maria Reznikova, and Alexander Reznikov protest the Army's
             decision not to issue them purchase orders under requests for quotations (RFQ)
             Nos. DAJA02-96-Q-9046, DAJA02-96-Q-9047, and DAJA02-96-Q-9048, issued to obtain
             the services of instructors at the George C. Marshall European Center for Security
             Studies in Garmisch, Germany. The protesters allege that the Army's evaluation of
             their quotations as unqualified was improper and motivated by bad faith and anti-
             semitism.

             We deny the protests.

             The United States and German Departments of Defense established the Center to
             train former Eastern Bloc military and high-level civilian personnel in how to
             operate a military force in a democratic environment. The Center's Institute for
             Eurasian Studies and its Arms Control Division (ACD), which issued these
             requirements, deal primarily with military combat equipment as identified in various
             international treaties.
