Sklute, Esq., Nolan Sklute, Esq., and David R. White, Esq., Sklute & Associates, for the protester. Timothy Noelker, Esq., Steven E. Kellogg, Esq., Michael T. Marrah, Esq., and Linda L.

Keith Buchanan for SFA, Inc.; and Raymond A. Beebe for Highland Engineering, Inc., intervenors. Vera Meza, Esq., and Elizabeth Burt-Feller, Esq., U.S. Army Materiel Command, for the agency. Jacqueline Maeder, Esq., and Paul I. Lieberman, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Agency reasonably excluded from the competitive range a proposal which was properly evaluated to be materially noncompliant and lacking information and data necessary to support the proposed technical approach. DECISION AMS Mechanical Systems, Inc. protests the exclusion of its proposal from the competitive range under request for proposals (RFP) No. DAAE07-97-R-X037, issued by the Department of the Army, U.S. Army Tank-Automotive and Armaments Command (TACOM) for the acquisition of a prototype water purification/ desalination system, known as a Tactical Water Purification System (TWPS). AMS objects to the evaluation of its proposal, arguing, among other things, that TACOM did not understand AMS's proposed technology, ignored the technical data supplied by the protester, and subjected the proposal to a more rigorous evaluation than that which was applied to other competing proposals. We deny the protest.
