DIGEST
Protest challenging the agency's cost evaluation and rejection of protester's proposal is
denied where the protester's proposal had inconsistencies between the cost narrative
and cost spreadsheet, and the agency reasonably concluded that the protester's
proposal failed to comply with the terms of the solicitation and that a most probable cost
could not be determined.
DECISION
Alion Science and Technology Corporation (Alion) of McLean, Virginia, protests the
Department of Defense, Defense Threat Reduction Agency's (DTRA) decision not to
award it an indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract under request for
proposals (RFP) No. HDTRA122ROO09. The agency awarded ten IDIQ contracts under
the RFP for various support services for combatting weapons of mass destruction. The
protester argues that the agency's decision to reject its proposal was unreasonable and,
alternatively, the agency should have provided an opportunity for Alion to fix its
proposal.

We deny the protest.
