This redacted version has been approved for public release. Matter of: WP Photographic Services File: B-278897.4 Date: May 12, 1998 Trisa J. Thompson, Esq., and J. Gregory Correnti, Esq., Seyfarth, Shaw, Fairweather & Geraldson, for the protester. Marian Sullivan, Esq., and Martin McAlwee, Esq., Department of the Air Force, for the agency. Linda C. Glass, Esq., and Paul I. Lieberman, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Agency reasonably determined to exclude protester's proposal from the competitive range where the agency concluded, on the basis of an evaluation which was reasonable and consistent with the solicitation evaluation criteria, that the proposal had no reasonable chance of being selected for award because major revision was necessary to correct substantial deficiencies in the relatively high-priced proposal. DECISION WP Photographic Services protests the exclusion of its proposal from the competitive range under request for proposals (RFP) No. F08650-96-R-0415, issued by the Department of the Air Force for visual information end products and technical services in support of pre-launch, launch, post-launch, and non-launch operations, also called the Visual Information Technical Contract (VITC). WP contends that the elimination of its proposal from the competitive range lacked a reasonable basis and was otherwise improper. We deny the protest. The RFP, issued on May 20, 1997, contemplated the award of a fixed-price, indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity, labor-hour contract for a base period with four 1-year options. The purpose of the contract is to obtain visual imaging end products for launch and non-launch events for the 45th Space Wing and NASA's Kennedy Space Center. The RFP stressed that the VITC was one of the largest contracts of its type in the Air Force and the quality and timeliness of its products and services have a far-reaching effect. The RFP further stressed that the critical nature of the requirement dictates that full support capability be available on short
