Phillipa L. Anderson, Esq., Rheba Heggs, Esq., and Philip Kauffman, Esq., Department of Veterans Affairs, 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. Challenge to the evaluation of protester's proposal is denied where the record shows that the technical evaluation board (TEB) evaluated the proposal in accordance with the criteria announced in the solicitation and the record supports the TEB's conclusions. 2. A proposal found deficient following a comparative evaluation of proposals (rather than on a pass/fail basis) under traditional responsibility factors such as experience, past performance, and personnel qualifications is not a matter of responsibility subject to the Small Business Administration's certificate of competency procedures. DECISION Medical Information Services (MIS) protests the award of a contract to Information & Professional Management Group (IPMG) under request for proposals (RFP) No. 261-0077-01, issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) for medical transcription services for the VA's Sierra Nevada Health Care System (Reno). MIS contends that the VA improperly rejected its proposal and challenges the award to IPMG on several grounds. We deny the protest.
