          DIGEST

          Protest challenging agency's source selection decision is denied where record
          shows, contrary to protester's assertion, that agency did not give undue weight to a
          risk identified by the evaluators in connection with protester's proposal, and that
          source selection decision was otherwise adequately documented and reasonable.
          DECISION

          Unisys Corporation, of Reston, Virginia, protests the issuance of a task order to
          Computer  Sciences Corporation (CSC), of Falls Church, Virginia, under request for
          proposals No. HSTSO3-08-R-CIO903, issued by the Department of Homeland Security,
          Transportation Security Administration (TSA), to acquire computer support services.
          Unisys asserts that the agency made an unreasonable price/technical tradeoff in its
          award decision.

          We deny the protest.

          computer support services for TSA at a large number of the agency's installations
          nationally and worldwide, for a base year, with four 1-year options. The competition
          was limited to firms previously awarded indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity
          contracts by the Department of Homeland Security under functional category 2 of
          the Enterprise Acquisition Gateway for Leading Edge Solutions (EAGLE) program.
          Award  was to be made on a best value basis considering price, three equally
