         DIGEST

         Where  solicitation expressly contemplated that vendor would not have certain
         required non-disclosure agreements (NDA) until after commencement of
         performance under task order, and provided criteria for assessing vendor's plan to
         obtain NDAs after issuance of order without calling for price evaluation adjustments
         or for any adverse evaluation consequences for doing so, agency reasonably did not
         downgrade  proposal for including a highly rated plan to obtain required NDAs after
         issuance of the order, and was not required to increase the evaluated cost to the
         government  to compensate for the alleged transition costs related to the delay in
         performance that the solicitation anticipated for obtaining the NDAs.
         DECISION

         Strategic Analysis, Inc. (SAI) protests the issuance of a 5-year time and materials
         task order (to be placed against a General Services Administration (GSA) federal
         supply schedule (FSS) contract) to LOGTEC, Inc., for independent research and
         development  and data mining (IR&D) support under request for quotations (RFQ)
