AHNTECH, Inc.

B-293582 April 13, 2004

Protest:

AHNTECH, Inc. protests the agency's decision to eliminate its proposal from the competition under request for proposals (RFP) No. F02604-03-R-0041, issued by the Department of the Air Force for operations and maintenance (O&M) services.

AHNTECH asserts that the agency improperly evaluated its proposal and improperly refused to allow the firm to revise its proposal.

Decision:

We deny the protest

Decision Summary:

1. Where solicitation advised offerors that agency intended to make award without discussions, but agency did issue clarification requests to offerors, protester's unsolicited proposal revisions in response to clarification requests did not convert clarifications into discussions.

2. In determining whether protester's proposal demonstrated adequate management capabilities, agency reasonably found that proposal's failure to include plan for turn-in of significant quantities of former government furnished equipment and failure to offer sufficient fire protection personnel warranted elimination of proposal from the competition.
