          File:        B-412257

          Date:     December 15, 2015

          Melany Schmidt for the protester.
          CPT Meghan E. Mahaney, Department of the Army, for the agency.
          Peter D. Verchinski, Esq., and Nora K. Adkins, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
          GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
          DIGEST

          Protest challenging agency's determination that the protester's proposal is
          unacceptable is denied where the agency reasonably found, consistent with the
          stated evaluation criteria, that the protester's proposal failed to meet the
          solicitation's minimum requirements.

          HelpingGov Corporation, a women-owned small business (WOSB), of Silver Spring,
          Maryland, protests the award of a contract to Innolect, Inc., a WOSB, of Fort Mill,
          South Carolina, under request for proposals (RFP) No. W9124C-15-R-TRNG,
          issued by the Department of the Army, Mission and Installation Contracting
          Command--Fort Jackson, for leadership development training programs.
          HelpingGov asserts that the agency improperly found its proposal to be technically
          unacceptable.

          We deny the protest.
