File: B-407305 Date: December 4, 2012 Dennis Fritz for the protester. Anne C. Tinoco, Esq., and Tracy McGowan, Esq., Maryland Procurement Office, for the agency. Nora K. Adkins, Esq., and James A. Spangenberg, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Agency reasonably determined that protester's proposal was unacceptable where the protester failed to submit an adequately written technical proposal in accordance with the solicitation's instructions. DECISION Telecommunication Support Services, Inc. (TSS), of Melbourne, Florida, protests the award of a contract to Tensley Consulting, Inc., of Annapolis, Maryland, by the Maryland Procurement Office (MPO) under request for proposals (RFP) No. H98230-12-R-0010 for software and hardware engineering support services and system support functions for the agency's terrestrial radio frequency mission. TSS contends that the agency unreasonably evaluated its technical proposal. We deny the protest. The solicitation, issued on February 3, 2012, contemplated the award of a time and materials contract for support services for a base year plus four option years. Award was to be made to the lowest-priced, technically acceptable offeror. A proposal's technical acceptability would be based upon the evaluation of both management and technical factors. The RFP, as amended, divided the management factor into four subfactors and the technical factor into ten subfactors. The RFP explained that to be acceptable, a proposal may not have an unacceptable rating under any management or technical subfactor.
