         Steven Kroll for the protester.
         Janine S. Benton, Esq., and Kathy C. Potter, Esq., Benton & Potter, PC, for
         Teracore, Inc., an intervenor.
         Emily E. Parkhurst, Esq., and Alton E. Woods, Esq., Department of the Interior, for
         the agency.

         participated in the preparation of the decision.
         DIGEST

         Agency procurement record reasonably supports agency's rejection of protester's
         quotation on the basis of various deficiencies and weaknesses in protester's
         quotation under each of the solicitation's non-price evaluation factors.
         DECISION

         Wizdom  Systems, Inc. protests the award of a contract to Teracore, Inc. by the
         Department of the Interior, on behalf of the Department of Defense's U.S. Military
         Entrance Processing Command  (USMEPCOM),  pursuant to request for quotations
         (RFQ) No. 1406-04-06-RQ-63792 for technical services to support development of
         USMEPCOM's   virtual interactive processing system (VIPS).' Wizdom protests that
         the agency improperly evaluated Wizdom's quotation and improperly selected
         Teracore's higher-priced quotation.

         We  deny the protest.


         1USMEPCOM is   developing VIPS to assist in enforcing its enlistment standards and
         in ensuring the quality of personnel entering the U.S. armed forces by capturing,
         evaluating, storing and communicating applicant pre-qualification, qualification, and
         enlistment data in a net-centric environment. USMEPCOM is preparing to enter the
         acquisition milestone B program development phase for VIPS.
