handle is hein.gao/gaolti0001 and id is 1 raw text is: 1Oo- U.S. GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABILITY OFFICE G A O A Century of Non-Partisan Fact-Based Work 441 G St. N.W. Comptroller General Washington, DC 20548 of the United States Decision Matter of: Program Insite, LLC File: B-419646 Date: June 2, 2021 Emnet Menyahil, for the protester. Megan Nathan, Esq., Department of Education, for the agency. Raymond Richards, Esq., and John Sorrenti, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest that the agency unreasonably assigned a deficiency to the protester's proposal is denied where the record shows the agency's evaluation of the proposal was reasonable and in accordance with the solicitation. 2. Challenge to the exclusion of the protester's proposal from the competitive range is denied where the agency reasonably found that the proposal was technically unacceptable as submitted, was not among the most highly rated, and did not have a reasonable chance of being selected for award. DECISION Program Insite, LLC, a small business of Olney, Maryland, protests its exclusion from the competitive range under request for proposals (RFP) No. 91990021 R0010, issued by the Department of Education (DOE) for cloud hosting, system administration, and website support and development. The protester argues that the agency unreasonably evaluated its proposal, and improperly excluded it from the competitive range.1 We deny the protest. 1 The protester here proceeded without legal counsel, and therefore no protective order was issued in this protest. The agency filed both a protected and redacted version of its report with our Office. Our discussion here, where possible, references the redacted version of the report and is necessarily general in nature to avoid reference to non-public information.
