             Decision




             Matter of: Pearl Properties, Inc.

             File:       B-277250.2

             Date:       September 18, 1997

             Felita A. Phillips for the protester.
             Richard A. Marchese, Esq., Department of Housing and Urban Development, for the
             agency.
             Christina Sklarew, Esq., and Paul Lieberman, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
             GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
             DIGEST

             Protest of elimination of protester's proposal from the competitive range based on
             disagreement with agency's evaluation is denied where the evaluation was
             conducted in accordance with the criteria announced in the solicitation, and the
             record supports the evaluators' conclusions.
             DECISION

             Pearl Properties, Inc. protests the exclusion of its proposal from the competitive
             range under request for proposals (RFP) No. H03R96015600000, issued by the
             Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for real estate asset
             management (REAM) services for single-family properties owned by HUD in its
             District of Columbia Office jurisdiction. Pearl alleges that its proposal was
             improperly evaluated because HUD improperly disregarded corporate experience by
             a predecessor firm and because HUD considered an allegedly erroneous negative
             past performance report.

             We deny the protest.

             The RFP was issued on July 24, 1996, as a total small business set-aside for the
             acquisition of management and other related services. The RFP listed the following
             evaluation factors, with their relative weights, to be scored on a 100-point scale:
             prior management experience (30 points); past performance (25 points); office
             location(s) (20 points); and management capability (25 points). Award was to be
             made to the offeror submitting the proposal that best conforms to the solicitation
             and is most advantageous to the Government (that proposal which represents the
             best value.)
