          DIGEST

          Challenge to the exclusion of the protester's proposal from the competitive range is
          denied where the record shows that the evaluation was reasonable and consistent
          with the evaluation criteria announced in the solicitation.
          DECISION

          TekStar, Inc. protests the exclusion of its proposal from the competitive range under
          request for proposals (RFP) No. F65501-03-R-0002, issued by the Department of the
          Air Force for services to provide base operations and support for Eareckson Air
          Station in Alaska. TekStar contends that the agency improperly evaluated its
          proposal.

          We deny the protest.

          BACKGROUND

          The RFP, issued on May 17, 2004, as a competitive section 8(a) total set-aside,
          contemplated the award of a cost-plus-award-fee contract for a 2-month transition
          period and a 6-month base period with up to seven 1-year option periods. The
          performance work statement (PWS) provided a description of the contract
          requirements that covered the operations and maintenance of the airfield and its
          support infrastructure. The RFP also included Interservice Support Agreements
