File: B-285563.2 Date: October 19, 2000 Terrence M. O'Connor, Esq., for the protester. Gary A. Nemec, Esq., Department of Housing & Urban Development, for the agency. Katherine I.

DECISION Vero Property Management, Inc. protests the rejection of its proposal for special property inspections (SPI) services as technically unacceptable under request for proposals (RFP) No. R-DEN-01108, issued by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). We deny the protest.

The services provided by the M&Ms include providing maintenance and repair services, as well as marketing and selling the pro perties in order to recoup funds HUD paid on the mortgage insurance claim. HUD then contracts for SPI services to inspect the condition of HUD-owned single family properties that are maintained by the M&Ms to insure that they remain in marketable condition. Contracting Officer's Statement at 1. The RFP, issued on November 30, 1999, requested proposals for SPI services for HUD's single family properties located within the jurisdiction of HUD's Santa Ana
