solicitation.

the evaluation was inconsistent with the solicitation or applicable regulations.
3. Protest that agency failed to meaningfully consider all evaluation factors when
establishing competitive range is denied where the record reflects that agency's
competitive range determination was reasonable and consistent with the solicitation.
DECISION
Octo Consulting Group, LLC, of Reston, Virginia, protests the exclusion of its proposal
from the competitive range under request for proposals (RFP) No. M0476-21-R-0036,
issued by the Department of Defense, National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA),
for geospatial-intelligence search and retrieval (GSR) services. The protester argues
that NGA misevaluated Octo's proposal and made an unreasonable competitive range
determination.

We deny the protest.
