oComptroller General

             Washington, D.C. 20548
             Decision




             Matter of: Telestar Corp.

             File:       B-275855

             Date:       April 4, 1997

             Frank Liu for the protester.
             Donald F. Hassell, Esq., Brian T. Kildee, Esq., and Robin B. Teichman, Esq., Nuclear
             Regulatory Commission, for the agency.
             Jennifer D. Westfall-Mc Grail, Esq., and Christine S. Melody, Esq., Office of the
             General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
             DIGEST

             1. Protest challenging agency's conclusion that protester's proposal is technically
             unacceptable is denied where record demonstrates that agency's evaluation of the
             proposal was reasonable.

             2. Agency was not required to conduct discussions with offeror whose proposal
             reasonably had been determined technically unacceptable and excluded from the
             competitive range.
             DECISION

             Telestar Corp. protests the rejection of its proposal under request for proposals
             (RFP) No. RS-IRM-96-177, issued by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for
             the acquisition of microcomputer hardware and software, laser printers, and
             microcomputer support services. The protester takes issue with the technical
             evaluation of its proposal and objects to the agency's failure to hold discussions
             with it.

             We deny the protest.

             BACKGROUND

             The RFP sought a contractor to furnish computer software and hardware and laser
             printers and to provide computer support services, including hardware moves,
             upgrades, and maintenance and software installation and deinstallation.1


             'Network services were not included in the services sought since NRC contracts for
             them separately.
