          File:        B-409089; B-409089.2

          Date:        January 22, 2014

          Allen M. Lowy, Esq., for the protester.
          George B. Tereschuk, Esq., and Vincent Buonocore, Esq., Department of Veterans
          Affairs, for the agency.
          Louis A. Chiarella, Esq., and Guy R. Pietrovito, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
          GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
          DIGEST

          Protest challenging the evaluation of the protester's proposal and its exclusion from
          competitive range is denied where the agency's evaluation and competitive range
          determination were reasonable and in accordance with the solicitation evaluation
          criteria.
          DECISION

          LINTECH, LLC, of Rochelle Park, New Jersey, protests the exclusion of its proposal
          from the competitive range under request for proposals (RFP) No. VA1 18-13-R-
          0530, issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) for Resident Assessment
          Instrument/Minimum Data Set (RAI/MDS) software and related support services.
          LINTECH argues that the agency's evaluation of its proposal as well as the
          subsequent determination to exclude its proposal from the competitive range were
          improper.

          We deny the protest.
