Patrick T. Rothwell, Esq., Piliero Mazza PLLC, for T-Rex Consulting Corporation, an intervenor. Charles K. Bucknor Jr., Esq., Department of Homeland Security, for the agency. Noah B. Bleicher, Esq., and Sharon L. Larkin, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest challenging agency's best value award decision is denied where the tradeoff analysis was reasonable, well-documented, and consistent with the solicitation. DECISION Unified Communication, Inc. (UCI), of McLean, Virginia, protests the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) decision not to award the firm a contract under request for proposals (RFP) No. HSHQDC-1 1 -R-1 0001, which DHS issued for information technology services. The protester challenges the agency's best value award decision that resulted in awards to seven other offerors. We deny the protest.' 1 UCI was not represented by counsel in this protest. Accordingly, our Office did not issue a protective order, and UCI was provided only a redacted version of the agency report. In resolving the protest, we reviewed in camera unredacted copies of all evaluation and source selection documents and have based our decision on the full record. As much of the information reviewed by our Office is source selection sensitive and proprietary in nature, our discussion of the evaluation is necessarily limited.
