          Decision

          Matter of: Veterans Technology, LLC

          File:        B-310303.2

          Date:        January 7, 2008

          Gary L. Rigney, Esq., Gary L. Rigney Law Office, for the protester.
          Capt. Marlin D. Paschal, Department of the Army, for the agency.
          Linda C. Glass, Esq., and Ralph 0. White, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO,
          participated in the preparation of the decision.
          DIGEST

          Agency reasonably evaluated protester's proposal as unacceptable and on that basis,
          properly determined that protester's proposal was ineligible for award on the basis
          of initial offers.
          DECISION

          Veterans Technology, LLC (VetTech) protests the rejection of its proposal under
          request for proposals (RFP) No. W91 1M-07-R-0006 issued by the Department of the
          Army for engineering and technical support services for the Army's Space and
          Missile Defense Command, Forces Strategic Command, and other associated air,
          space and missile defense organizations. VetTech challenges the agency's
          determination that VetTech's proposal failed to comply with the solicitation
          requirements.

          We deny the protest.

          BACKGROUND

          The solicitation was issued as a total small business set-aside and contemplated
          multiple awards of indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contracts for a 1-year base
          period followed by four 1-year options. The RFP identified the following evaluation
          factors: technical, management, sample tasks, past performance and price.
          RFP at 108-11. Of relevance here, the RFP advised offerors that their responses to
          the sample tasks would be evaluated, and advised offerors to respond with sufficient
          detail to clearly demonstrate their approach to performing and understanding the
          sample task orders. Id. at 89-90.
