John A. Kern, Esq., Federal Railroad Administration, for the agency. Susan K. McAuliffe, Esq., and Christine S. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest of agency's evaluation of firm's proposal is denied where record shows that evaluation was reasonable and consistent with solicitation's terms; protester's disagreement with evaluation is insufficient to show it was unreasonable. DECISION Consultants In Continual Improvement (CICI) protests the agency's evaluation of its proposal under request for proposals (RFP) No. DTFR53-01-R-00037, issued by the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA). The protester contends that it was unreasonable for the agency to conclude that its proposal had weaknesses in certain areas. We deny the protest. The RFP anticipated the award of an indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity, fixed- price contract for a base year and four option periods for support services for the FRA's Office of Human Resources. The required services relate to workforce planning and training needs assessments of employees' non-technical skills. Non-technical skills to be considered include, for example, interpersonal skills, supervisory and managerial leadership, teaming, conflict resolution, oral and written communications, computer applications, and non-technical safety related subjects. RFP C.2, F.2, and L.5. The contractor was to assess current non-technical organizational skills of agency employees, determine gaps between current and future skill requirements, and identify appropriate training interventions to redress skill deficiencies. Id. C.3.
