DECISION

American Native Veterans of Louisiana (ANVL), a service-disabled veteran-owned
business located in Covington, Louisiana, protests the award of contracts to Timberline
Homes of Louisiana, a small business located in Lafayette, Louisiana, and Andries and
Associates, a small business located in Carencro, Louisiana, by the Department of
Homeland Security, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), pursuant to
request for proposals (RFP) No. HSFE06-17-R-0003 for the maintenance and
deactivation of manufactured housing units (MHUs). The protester alleges that the
agency failed to reasonably evaluate ANVL's proposal, improperly amended the
solicitation after the closing date for submission of proposals, and failed to provide a
proper and fair debriefing.


We deny the protest.
