          Decision


          Matter of: Nevada Real Estate Services, Inc.

          File:       B-293105

          Date:       February 3, 2004

          Michael P. Krein for the protester.
          Carolyn P. Fiume, Esq., Department of Housing and Urban Development, for the
          agency.
          Jacqueline Maeder, Esq., and John M. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
          GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
          DIGEST

          Agency properly rejected protester's offer where, although protester claims it
          submitted a complete business proposal along with its technical proposal, record
          shows that submitted business proposal omitted substantial required information.
          DECISION

          Nevada Real Estate Services, Inc. (NRE) protests the rejection of its proposals under
          request for proposals (RFP) No. R-OPC-22505, issued by the Department of Housing
          and Urban Development (HUD) for management and marketing (M&M) services for
          single-family properties. HUD rejected NRE's proposals for failure to include
          complete business proposals.

          We deny the protest.

          The RFP, issued on August 6, 2003, contemplated the award of 24 fixed-price,
          indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contracts for M&M services in 24 geographic
          areas, for a base year, with four 1-year options. Offerors could submit proposals for
          one or more geographic areas. Each geographic area falls under one of four regional
          Home Ownership Centers (HOC) based in Philadelphia, Atlanta, Denver, and Santa
          Ana, California. The Denver HOC is divided into six areas and the Santa Ana HOC is
          divided into five. NRE's protest concerns Area 1 of the Denver HOC, and Area 4 of
          the Santa Ana HOC.

          Proposals were to include two separate volumes--a technical/management proposal
          describing the firm's organization and management, and a business proposal that
