          Date:        October 31, 2002

          Matthew Pavlides, Esq., Miles & Stockbridge PC, for the protester.
          Michael Colvin, Department of Health and Human Services, for the agency.
          Sharon L. Larkin, Esq., and James A. Spangenberg, Esq., Office of the General

          DIGEST

          Protest challenging contracting agency's evaluation of protester's proposal and
          exclusion of proposal from competitive range is denied where agency's evaluation
          and competitive range determination were reasonable and in accordance with the
          solicitation evaluation criteria.
          DECISION

          CETROM, Inc. protests the exclusion of its proposal from the competitive range
          under request for proposals (RFP) number 292-01-P(CL)-0316, issued by the National
          Institutes of Health (NIH) for minor construction, alteration, and rehabilitation of
          various NIH facilities in the Washington/Baltimore area. CETROM contends that
          NIH improperly evaluated its proposal.

          We deny the protest.

          The RFP, limited to 8(a) contractors, provided for award of multiple task-order
          contracts for construction services under a fixed-price, indefinite-delivery indefinite-
          quantity (ID/IQ) contract for a base year with 4 option years. The RFP contemplated
          that NIH would issue separate task orders for the work, ranging from $25,001 to
          $100,000 per task order, with a maximum dollar amount of $150 million over the life
          of the contract. RFP § C. i.a.
