           DIGEST

           Protest challenging the elimination of a proposal submitted by a competitive team
           arrangement offeror from competition is denied where agency reasonably
           concluded that the protester's contractor team arrangement agreement did not
           clearly provide information required by the solicitation.
           DECISION

           NextGen Consulting, Inc. (NextGen), of Washington, DC, protests the exclusion of
           its proposal from further consideration under request for proposals (RFP)
           No. NIHJT2016015, issued by the Department of Health and Human Services,
           National Institutes of Health for information technology supplies and services. The
           protester argues that the agency unreasonably excluded NextGen's proposal based
           on the agency's misinterpretation of its contractor team arrangement (CTA)
           agreement.

           We deny the protest.
