Levy, Esq., Zuckerman, Spaeder, Goldstein, Taylor & Kolker, for Development Alternatives, Inc.; Joel H.

Calhoun, Esq., and Christine S. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest that firm should be excluded from the competition for an economic development contract in Uganda based upon its prior involvement in preparing a concept paper for the project is denied where the record shows that the concept paper did not lead directly, predictably, and without delay to the solicitation's work statement; that the concept paper is a publicly available document; and that any competitive advantage obtained by the firm by virtue of its preparation of the concept paper was not created by any improper preference or other unfair action by the agency. DECISION Daniel Eke and Associates, P.C., protests the decision of the Agency for International Development (AID) to allow certain firms to compete under request for proposals (RFP) No. UGANDA 961 to implement the Private Enterprise Support, Training and Organizational Development (PRESTO) Project in Uganda. Daniel Eke contends that these firms should be excluded from the competition based upon their prior involvement in preparing a concept paper for the Project. We deny the protest. BACKGROUND The goal of the PRESTO Project is to raise low incomes in Uganda by increasing employment and productivity in micro-, small-, and medium-sized enterprises. AID's 312626
