DIGEST

Protest challenging agency's evaluation and selection of a higher-rated, higher-priced
proposal for award is denied because the agency's evaluation and best-value tradeoff
decision were reasonable and consistent with the terms of the solicitation.
DECISION

Booz Allen Hamilton Inc., of McLean, Virginia, protests the issuance of an order to
Deloitte Consulting LLP, of Arlington, Virginia, under task order request for proposals
(RFP) No. 70CDCR20-R-000000006, issued   by the Department of Homeland Security
(DHS), United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for systems and
analysis program management  support services. The protester challenges the
agency's evaluation of its oral presentation, argues that the agency failed to document
adequately oral presentations, and contends that the agency made an unreasonable
source selection decision.

We  deny the protest.

BACKGROUND

On June 25, 2020, the agency issued the solicitation, utilizing the procedures of Federal
Acquisition Regulation (FAR) subpart 16.5, to the unrestricted pool of General Services
Administration (GSA) One Acquisition Solution for Integrated Services (OASIS)
