handle is hein.gao/gaocrptalga0001 and id is 1 raw text is: -e GeAtOa E Comptroller General of the United States United States General Accounting Office Washington, DC 20548 Decision Matter of: Northwest Procurement Institute, hie. File: B-286345 Date: November 17, 2000 Patrick Shields for the protester. Terrence J. Tychan, Department of Health and Human Services, for the agency. Guy R. Pietrovito, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST The agency's exclusion of the protester's proposal from the competitive range was reasonable where the proposal was reasonably determined not to be one of the most highly rated. DECISION Northwest Procurement Institute, Inc. protests the exclusion of its proposal from the competitive range and award of a contract to Business Management Research Associates, Inc. (BMRA) under request for proposals (RFP) No. RFP-17-00-HHS-OS, issued by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) for training services. We deny the protest. The RFP provided for the award, on a cost/technical tradeoff basis, of a task order, level-of-effort contract for training of agency procurement personnel and program project officers for a base year with four 1-year options. The RFP listed the acquisition training courses and project officer courses that had been provided as classroom instruction in prior years by the agency. Offerors were informed that the agency preferred to receive web-based instruction for the acquisition courses; the project officer courses would be provided by way of classroom instruction.
