1. Protest that contracting agency's evaluation and subsequent exclusion from the competitive range of protester's proposal were improper is denied where the record shows that the evaluation was reasonable and consistent with the solicitation's stated evaluation factors; protester's allegations that the agency misunderstood certain aspects of its proposal to its detriment are not supported by the record. <p/>2. Supplemental protest that contracting agency improperly solicited for construction services but, in its evaluation, improperly converted the solicitation into one for design services is dismissed as untimely where the protester was provided sufficient information in its written debriefing document to include this specific allegation in its initial protest, but failed to raise the matter until nearly 1 month later. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-275999-4/html/GAOREPORTS-B-275999-4.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-275999-4/pdf/GAOREPORTS-B-275999-4.pdf GAO/B-275999.4 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-B-275999-4 Comptroller General Decision GAO/B-275999.4; Global Engineering & Construction Joint Venture, B-275999.4;; Title 40 Section 541-544 40 U.S.C. 541-544
