DIGEST Agency's rejection of protester's proposal for failing to meet two solicitation requirements was unobjectionable where record shows that proposal was unacceptable. DECISION AHNTECH Inc. protests the rejection of its proposal under request for proposals (RFP) No. F26600-02-R-B004, issued by the Department of the Air Force for automation support services at Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada. AHNTECH asserts that its proposal met the RFP requirements and should have been considered for award. The protest is denied. The RFP sought proposals to provide personnel and supervision to perform all training and testing operations using the Nellis Air Combat Training System and the Nellis Combined Air Operations Center. The support includes analysis, evaluation, graphics, computer programming, data entry, retrieval and processing, computer maintenance, technical library, software development, administrative support, and facility maintenance. The RFP contemplated the award of a fixed-price contract for a base year, with 4 option years. Award was to be made to the offeror whose proposal was considered most advantageous to the government, considering three factors: technical, past performance and price. The RFP identified four technical subfactors, two of which-- security and operations support/range training officer (RTO)--are relevant to this
