Lipsitz, Esq., Benjamin L. Williams, Esq., and Caitlin E. Trevillyan, Esq., Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton, LLP, for the protester. Maureen A.

Christopher Alwood, Esq., and Christina Sklarew, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest challenging agency's evaluation of proposal as technically unacceptable is denied where the record shows that certain required information in proposal was in pages that exceeded the solicitation's page limits, and the agency's decision not to consider that information was reasonable and consistent with the solicitation's terms. 2. Protester is not an interested party to challenge other aspects of the evaluation where its proposal was reasonably evaluated as technically unacceptable. DECISION Benaka Inc., a small business of New Brunswick, New Jersey, protests the decision by the Department of the Army, Corps of Engineers (Corps) to eliminate Benaka's proposal from the competition pursuant to request for proposals (RFP) No. W912WJ20R0002, to provide design-build services in support of the Corps's New England district mission. Benaka asserts that the agency unreasonably determined that part of its proposal exceeded applicable page limitations, and therefore improperly evaluated Benaka's technical proposal. The protester also challenges various other aspects of the agency's evaluation. We deny the protest.
