Accountability * Integrity * Reliability of the United States United States Government Accountability Office DOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE Washington, DC 20548 The decision issued on the date below was subject to a GAO Protective Order. This redacted version has been approved for public release. Decision Matter of: Prudent Technologies, Inc. File: B-297425 Date: January 5, 2006 J. Patrick McMahon, Esq., and William T. Welch, Esq., Barton, Baker, McMahon, Hildebrant & Tolle, for the protester. Jud E. McNatt, Esq., Department of Housing and Urban Development, for the agency. Ralph 0. White, Esq., and Christine S. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protester's contention that the agency unreasonably found its proposal technically unacceptable is denied where the record shows that the proposal did not provide information requested by the solicitation, and that the evaluation was reasonable and consistent with the solicitation's stated evaluation scheme. DECISION Prudent Technologies, Inc. protests the award of a contract to Tidewater, Inc. by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) pursuant to request for proposals (RFP) No. R-ATL-01810, issued to procure lead evaluation services for single-family properties owned by HUD and located within specified geographic regions; the award at issue here is for lead evaluation services within HUD's Denver region. Prudent argues that HUD unreasonably concluded that Prudent's proposal was technically unacceptable. We deny the protest. BACKGROUND The RFP was issued on July 27, 2005, and anticipated the award of up to four contracts for lead evaluation services, one for each of the four areas comprising the jurisdictions of HUD's Homeownership Centers in Atlanta, Denver, Philadelphia, and Santa Ana. The competition was limited to firms participating in the Small Business Administration's 8(a) program.
