         Matter of: ALQIMI National Security, Inc.

         File:        B-413713.2; B-413713.3

         Date:        April 3, 2017

         Rolando R. Sanchez, Esq., Rolando R. Sanchez PLLC, for the protester.
         Richard Poelma, Esq., United States Marine Corps, for the agency.
         Elizabeth Witwer, Esq., and Heather Weiner, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
         GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
         DIGEST

         1. Protest challenging the agency's evaluation of proposals is denied where the
         record demonstrates that the agency's evaluation was reasonable and consistent
         with the terms of the solicitation.

         2. Protest challenging agency's selection of a lower-rated, lower-priced proposal for
         award is unobjectionable where the agency's trade-off decision was reasonable,
         and where the agency adequately documents its trade-off rationale.
         DECISION

         ALQIMI National Security, Inc. (ALQIMI), of Rockville, Maryland, protests the award
         of a contract to The Centech Group, Inc. (Centech), of Falls Church, Virginia, under
         request for proposals (RFP) No. M67400-16-R-0001, issued by the United States
         Marine Corps for technical and advisory management support services. ALQIMI
         challenges the agency's technical, past performance, and price evaluations.
         Additionally, the protester alleges that the best-value trade-off and source selection
         was unreasonable.

         We deny the protest.

         BACKGROUND

         The Marine Corps issued the RFP on May 2, 2016, for on-site technical and
         advisory support for the staff of the Defense Policy Review Initiative (DPRI)
         Integrated Program Management Office (IPMO), at the Marine Corps Air Station,
