          Decision

          Matter of: Champion Business Services, Inc.

          File:        B-290556

          Date:       June 25, 2002

          Carol E. McCallister, Champion Business Services, Inc., for the protester.
          William L. Mayers, Esq., Defense Information Systems Agency, for the agency.
          David A. Ashen, Esq., and John M. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO,

          DIGEST

          Protest that agency acted improperly in determining that protester was qualified to
          make an oral presentation even though it had no chance for award, and request for
          reimbursement of oral presentation costs, does not come within GAO's bid protest
          jurisdiction and is dismissed.
          DECISION

          Champion Business Services, Inc. protests the actions of the Defense Information
          Systems Agency, Defense Information Technology Contracting Organization
          (DISA/DITCO), under request for proposals (RFP) No. DCA200-01-R-5032, for global
          enterprise management support services. Champion maintains that the agency
          improperly retained its proposal in the competition after it became evident that
          Champion had no reasonable chance of receiving award.

          We dismiss the protest.

          The RFP provided for award of multiple indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity, task
          order contracts to small business concerns. The agency intended to reserve at least
          one award for a qualified section 8(a) program concern and one award for a qualified
          Historically Underutilized Business Zone (HUBZone) offeror. Award was to be made
          to offerors submitting the most highly rated proposals. The RFP provided for
          proposals to be evaluated under three evaluation factors, including past
          performance, technical/management, and cost/price. The RFP further provided for
          offerors (1) to submit a written volume containing cost/price information and
          contract information, including presentation slides for a subsequent oral
          presentation, and (2) to make an oral presentation addressing the offeror's past
          performance and technical/management approach (as well as furnishing an
