handle is hein.gao/gaocrptahmw0001 and id is 1 raw text is: oComptroller General of the United States Washington, D.C. 20548 Decision Matter of: L&M Technologies, Inc. File: B-278044.5 Date: May 8, 1998 Antonio R. Montoya for the protester. William W. Goodrich, Jr., Esq., and Alison Micheli, Esq., Arent Fox Kintner Plotkin & Kahn, for Advanced Integrated Management Services, Inc., an intervenor. Gena E. Cadieux, Esq., and John D. Bremer, Esq., Department of Energy, for the agency. Paul E. Jordan, Esq., and Paul Lieberman, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Challenge to exclusion of proposal from competitive range on the basis that offeror was not provided opportunity to make an additional oral presentation is denied where the request for proposal revisions did not provide for an oral presentation. Proposal was properly excluded from the competitive range notwithstanding an improved technical score where the agency reasonably concluded that the offeror had no reasonable chance for award in view of the significantly higher technical evaluations of the proposals which were included in the competitive range. DECISION L&M Technologies, Inc. protests the award of a contract to Advanced Integrated Management Services, Inc., (AIMSI) under request for proposals (RFP) No. DE-RP65-97WA14007, issued by the Western Area Power Administration (Western), Department of Energy (DOE) for technical support services. L&M challenges the agency's elimination of its proposal from the competitive range. We deny the protest. This procurement is to acquire technical support services for Western's Corporate Services Office (CSO) in Golden, Colorado. These services include realty management, power system training and video production, engineering support, and three information services support tasks: CSO support, corporate applications, and Financial Management System Transition support. The procurement consolidates four existing support services contracts and aligns them with changes in Western's organization that have occurred during the past 3 years. The solicitation, which was issued as a total small business set-aside, contemplated the award of a cost-plus-fixed-fee contract for a base year with 4 option years.
