         Matter of:   Sevatec, Inc.

         File:        B-413155.11

         Date:        August 24, 2016

         Cyrus E. Phillips, IV, Esq., Albo & Oblon LLP, for the protester.
         Kristen M. Nowadly, Esq., and Christoper Murphy, Esq., General Services
         Administration, for the agency.
         Glenn G. Wolcott, Esq., April Y. Shields, and Christina Sklarew, Esq., Office of the
         General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
         DIGEST

         Where solicitation required offerors to provide evidence of past experience within a
         verifiable contractual document, the agency reasonably determined that protester's
         submission of an unsigned contract modification document was insufficient to meet
         the solicitation requirements.
         DECISION

         Sevatec, Inc., of Fairfax, Virginia, protests its elimination from consideration under
         request for proposals (RFP) No. GS02Q1 5CRROO01 (frequently referred to as the
         Human Capital and Training Solutions (HCaTS) solicitation) issued by the General
         Services Administration (GSA) to provide training and development services across
         the federal government. Sevatec asserts that the elimination of its proposal was
         unreasonable and inconsistent with the terms of the solicitation.

         We deny the protest.

         BACKGROUND

         On August 17, 2015, the agency published the solicitation at issue, seeking
         proposals for customized training and development services, customized human
         capital strategy services, and customized organizational performance improvement
         services. RFP at 21. The solicitation contemplated multiple awards of
         indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts under which task orders will
         subsequently be issued. The solicitation covered eight North American Industry
         Classification System (NAICS) codes, and was divided into two separate Pools
