DIGEST

Protest challenging an agency's evaluation and rejection of a proposal as
technically unacceptable is denied where the record reflects that the evaluation was
reasonable and consistent with the terms of the solicitation.
DECISION

ARBEiT, LLC,1 of Warren, Michigan, a small business, protests the elimination of its
proposal from the competition under request for proposals (RFP) No. W56HZV-14-
R-0031, which was issued by the Department of the Army, U.S. Army Materiel
Command, for equipment related services. ARBEiT contends that its proposal was
improperly eliminated from the competition because the agency unreasonably
determined that its proposal was unacceptable under two evaluation factors.

We deny the protest.


1 ARBEiT is a joint venture between Unified Business Technologies, Inc. (UBT), of
Troy, Michigan, and Addon Services LLC, of Warren, Michigan. See Protest,
attach. No. 1, at 1.
