         Matter of:   Wyle Laboratories, Inc.

         File:        B-407784

         Date:        February 19, 2013

         John A. Burkholder, Esq., and David J. Ginsberg, Esq., McKenna Long & Aldridge
         LLP, for the protester.
         Alex D. Tomaszczuk, Esq., Evan D. Wesser, Esq., and Clare M. Cavaliero, Esq.,
         Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman LLP, for Imagine One Technology & Management,
         Ltd., an intervenor.
         Theresa M. Francis, Esq., and Amy N. Hanson, Esq., Department of the Navy, for
         the agency.
         Louis A. Chiarella, Esq., and Sharon L. Larkin, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
         GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
         DIGEST

         1. Protest of agency's technical evaluation is denied where record shows
         evaluation was reasonable and consistent with the stated evaluation criteria.

         2. Protest challenging agency's cost realism evaluation of awardee's proposal is
         denied where the record demonstrates that agency's conclusions were reasonable;
         the mere fact that awardee's proposed costs were lower than the protester's and
         the government estimate does not make them unrealistic.

         3. Protest that the agency treated offerors disparately regarding a subcontractor's
         organizational conflict of interest is denied where the record does not support the
         protester's allegations.

         4. Protest that agency improperly changed the stated basis for award from best
         value to low cost/technically acceptable is denied where the record reflects that the
         agency found protester's slight technical advantage did not outweigh awardee's
         significant cost advantage.
         DECISION

         Wyle Laboratories, Inc., of Lexington Park, Maryland, protests the issuance of a
         task order to Imagine One Technology & Management, Ltd., of Colonial Beach,
