             Date:       December 21, 1998

             Sally Johnson for the protester.
             Robert D. M. Allen, Esq., Department of the Air Force, for the agency.
             Henry J. Gorczycki, Esq., and James A. Spangenberg, Esq., Office of the General

             DIGEST

             Agency reasonably eliminated quotation from consideration in a procurement
             conducted using simplified acquisition procedures where the solicitation required
             the submission of documentation describing similar contract experience for
             evaluation of past performance and the quotation did not include such
             documentation; there was no obligation for the agency to conduct discussions
             regarding the failure to provide the required documentation.
             DECISION

             CDS Network Systems, Inc. protests the rejection of its quotation under request for
             quotations (RFQ) No. F44650-99-Q0010, issued by the Department of the Air Force
             for preventive and remedial maintenance services for commercial information
             technology hardware that supports the Airborne Warning and Control System at
             Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma.

             We deny the protest.

             The Air Force conducted this procurement pursuant to the simplified acquisition
             procedures of Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 13. Agency Report at 1.
             The RFQ, issued on September 10, 1998 as a small business set-aside, sought fixed-
             priced quotes for maintenance services on the equipment listed in the solicitation.
             The RFQ stated the following evaluation plan:

                   The Government intends to award a purchase order with the
                   prospective contractor whose quotation conforming to the solicitation
