          Decision

          Matter  of:  Trinity Technology Group, Inc.

          File:        B-403210

          Date:        September 23, 2010

          Brian A. Darst, Esq., Odin Feldman Pittleman PC, for the protester.

          DIGEST

          1. Agency reasonably assigned weaknesses in evaluating protester's quotation based
          on proposal of unqualified personnel as likely performers of security incident work
          and lack of proposed entry-level personnel for routine work.

          2. Based on totality of other weaknesses in protester's quotation and technical
          superiority of successful vendor's quotation, protester was not prejudiced by agency
          error in assigning weakness that was based on unreasonable assumption that vendor
          intended to perform sensitive work offsite.
          DECISION

          Trinity Technology Group, Inc., of Fairfax, Virginia, protests the issuance of a task
          order to ManTech Security & Mission Assurance, of Falls Church, Virginia, under
          request for quotation (RFQ) No. DJJI-10-RFQ-0550, issued by the Department of
          Justice (DOJ) for support of security program support services for the Executive
          Office for United States Attorneys (EOUSA). Trinity challenges the evaluation of its
          proposal.

          We deny the protest.

          The EOUSA   provides general executive assistance to the 94 U.S. Attorneys' Offices
          throughout the country, and its security programs staff is responsible for managing
          and coordinating security programs for these offices. The RFQ sought quotations to
          provide trained, experienced staff to provide support for the following objectives--
