Glenn G. Wolcott, Esq., and Christina Sklarew, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest challenging the agency's evaluation of proposals under the most important factor, technical, is denied where the agency's evaluation, including consideration of the value associated with competing proposals, was reasonable and consistent with the terms of the solicitation. 2. Protest asserting that, as the incumbent contractor, protester was entitled to a past performance rating that was superior to a non-incumbent offeror's rating is dismissed for failing to state a valid basis for protest. 3. Protest that agency was required to upwardly adjust the awardee's proposed transition costs for evaluation purposes is denied where the agency's evaluation of awardee's proposed costs was reasonable and consistent with the solicitation requirements. DECISION Booz Allen Hamilton, Inc. (BAH), of McLean, Virginia, protests the Defense Threat Reduction Agency's (DTRA) issuance of a task order to Noblis, Inc., of Reston, Virginia, pursuant to task order request for proposals (TORP) No. HDTRA1 -20-R-0001, to provide support for DTRA's cooperative threat reduction (CTR) program.
