File: B-279161.2 Date: October 13, 1998 John J. Ervin for the protester. Virginia Kelly Stephens, Esq., Department of Housing and Urban Development, for the agency. Aldo A. Benejam, Esq., and Christine S. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Allegation that agency improperly evaluated protester's proposal is denied where the record shows that the agency evaluated the proposal in accordance with the evaluation factors announced in the solicitation and record reasonably supports protester's overall lower technical score. 2. Protester's proposal was properly excluded from the competitive range as not having a reasonable chance of being selected for award in view of agency's receipt of significantly higher-rated, lower cost pro po sals. DECISION Ervin & Associates, Inc. protests the exclusion of its proposal from the competitive range under request for proposals (RFP) No. DU100C000018561, issued by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for due diligence services' and other related work. We deny the protest. The RFP, issued November 21, 1997, anticipates the award of multiple indefinite- quantity task order contracts. RFP §§ B-1(b), B-2, 1-16. The RFP guarantees a minimum order of $250,000 per contract and a maximum of $30 million per contract. RFP § B-3. Offerors were required to submit separate technical and business (cost) proposals. RFP § L11. With respect to costs, offerors were instructed to provide information to support their proposed costs only for two sample tasks included in the solicitation.
