                 Date:        June 25, 2002

                 Carol E. McCallister, Champion Business Services, Inc., for the protester.
                 William L. Mayers, Esq., Defense Information Systems Agency, for the agency.
                 David A. Ashen, Esq., and John M. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO,
                 participated in the preparation of the decision.
                 DIGEST

                 Protest that agency acted improperly in determining that protester was qualified to
                 make an oral presentation even though it had no chance for award, and request for
(reimbursement of oral presentation costs, does not come within GAO's bid protest
                 jurisdiction and is dismissed.
                 DECISION

                 Champion Business Services, Inc. protests the actions of the Defense Information
                 Systems Agency, Defense Information Technology Contracting Organization
                 (DISA/DITCO), under request for proposals (RFP) No, DCA200-01-R-5032, for global
                 enterprise management support services. Champion maintains that the agency
                 improperly retained its proposal in the competition after it became evident that
                 Champion had no reasonable chance of receiving award.

                 Historically Underutilized Business Zone (HUBZone) offeror. Award was to be made
                 to offerors submitting the most highly rated proposals. The RFP provided for
                 proposals to be evaluated under three evaluation factors, including past
                 performance, technical/management, and cost/price. The RFP further provided for
                 offerors (1) to submit a written volume containing cost/price information and
                 contract information, including presentation slides for a subsequent oral
                 presentation, and (2) to make an oral presentation addressing the offeror's past
                 performance and technical/management approach (as well as furnishing an
