          DIGEST

          Exclusion of proposal from competitive range was reasonable where agency
          reasonably determined that, notwithstanding solicitation requirement to include
          such information, proposal included inadequate detail concerning offeror's technical
          plan or approach to performing task orders for contracted advisory and assistance
          services.
          DECISION

          DSDJ, Inc. protests the Department of the Air Force's exclusion of its proposal from
          the competitive range under request for proposals (RFP) No. F44650-01-R0001, for
          contracted advisory and assistance services (CAAS) in support of the Air Combat
          Command (ACC) and the Air Force Command and Control Training and Innovation
          Group (AFC2TIG). DSDJ asserts that the evaluation of its proposal was inconsistent
          with the evaluation scheme set forth in the RFP and was otherwise unreasonable.

          We deny the protest.

          As set forth in the solicitation's statement of work (SOW), ACC and AFC2TIG require
          CAAS (as well as ongoing operational services) to support or improve organizational
          policy development, decision making capabilities, program and/or project
          management and administration, technical and analytical tools, and the operation of
          systems supporting the ACC mission of furnishing air combat forces. RFP
          Description of Services § 1.2. The RFP provided for award of six indefinite-delivery,
          indefinite-quantity contracts (three contracts to be awarded on an unrestricted basis
          and three contracts to be awarded to small business concerns), for a base year, with
