          Decision

          Matter of: Outdoor Venture Corporation

          File:       B-288894.2

          Date:       December 19, 2001

          Marc Lamer, Esq., Kostos & Lamer, for the protester.
          Steven S. Diamond, Esq., and Robert J. Wagman, Jr., Esq., Arnold & Porter, for Camel
          Manufacturing Company, an intervenor.
          Vera Meza, Esq., and Peter J. Tuttle, Esq., U.S. Army Materiel Command, for the
          agency.
          Paul I. Lieberman, Esq., and Michael R. Golden, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
          GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
          DIGEST

          1. Proposal that failed to satisfy material solicitation requirement, even after offeror
          had been apprised of this deficiency during discussions, properly was rejected as
          technically unacceptable after initially having been included in the competitive
          range.

          2. Solicitation provision that multiple awards are anticipated does not obligate
          agency to make more than one award where only one technically acceptable
          proposal is received.
          DECISION

          Outdoor Venture Corporation (OVC) protests the agency's decision to reject OVC's
          proposal as technically acceptable and to make a single contract award to Camel
          Manufacturing Company under request for proposals (RFP) No. DAAD 16-00-0031,
          issued by the Army Materiel Command (AMC) as a total small business HUBZone
          set-aside for the procurement of certain lightweight maintenance enclosures (LME)
          and associated spare and repair parts.


We deny the protest.
