         Matter of:   Technology Management Company, Inc.

         File:        B-409976

         Date:        September 26, 2014

         Carolyn Callaway, Esq., Carolyn Callaway, P.C., for the protester.
         Bethany Hsu, Esq., Defense Logistics Agency, for the agency.
         Noah B. Bleicher, Esq., and Nora K. Adkins, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
         GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
         DIGEST

         Agency's decision to reject protester's proposal is unobjectionable where the
         solicitation required offerors to provide prices for 100 items; the solicitation advised
         that failure to provide prices for all items could result in rejection of the proposal;
         and the protester failed to provide pricing for three of the 100 items.
         DECISION

         Technology Management Company, Inc. (TMC), of Albuquerque, New Mexico,
         protests the rejection of its proposal under request for proposals (RFP)
         No. SPE5B1-14-R-0001, issued by the Department of Defense, Defense Logistics
         Agency (DLA), for various supplies in support of the agency's maintenance, repair,
         and operations (MRO) requirements. TMC argues that the agency's rejection was
         unreasonable because DLA's evaluation was not in accordance with the
         solicitation's criteria.

         We deny the protest.

         BACKGROUND

         DLA issued the solicitation on March 28, 2014, seeking proposals for DLA's
         Tailored Logistics Support Prime Vendor Program for the Europe and Africa
         regions. Under the program, contractors provide a variety of commercial items,
         such as plumbing and electrical supplies, in support of MRO requirements of
         military installations and other federal activities. RFP at 4, 36-37. The solicitation
         here, issued under the commercial item procedures of Federal Acquisition
         Regulation (FAR) Part 12, contemplated the award of four fixed-price
