          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

          JAVIS Automation & Engineering, Inc. protests the exclusion of its proposal from the
          competitive range under request for proposals (RFP) No. CM1301-03-RP-0019, issued
          as a total small business set-aside by the Department of Commerce for information
          technology (IT) services. JAVIS asserts that the evaluation of its proposal was
          inconsistent with the evaluation scheme set forth in the RFP and was otherwise
          unreasonable.

          We deny the protest.

          This protest concerns the Phase I competition for Tier I offerors in the Commerce
          Information Technology Solutions Next Generation (COMMITS NexGen)
          procurement.' Issued on August 18, 2003, and amended several times, the RFP


          1 Phase I is a down-select process in which the agency selects the offerors that will
          proceed to the next phase of the competition by establishing a competitive range.
          RFP amend. 5, § L.11.1, at 64-65.
