DIGEST
1. Protest that the agency unreasonably evaluated the protester's proposal is denied
where the record shows the evaluation was consistent with the firm's technical
approach, the solicitation's terms, and applicable procurement statutes and regulations.
2. Protest that the agency improperly made a competitive range determination is
denied where the record shows that the agency reasonably concluded that the
protester's proposal was not among the most highly rated.
DECISION
Loyal Source Government Services, LLC, of Orlando, Florida, protests the exclusion of
its proposal from the competitive range under request for proposals (RFP)
No. 70CDCR21 R00000008, issued by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS),
Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE), for medical staffing support services.
Loyal argues that the agency misevaluated the firm's proposal and made an
unreasonable competitive range determination.
We deny the protest.
BACKGROUND

services for detainees at approximately 20 ICE Health Service Corps clinic sites.
