DIGEST Protest that agency improperly evaluated proposals is denied where there is no basis in the record on which to question the reasonableness of the agency's evaluation. DECISION Effective Shareholder Solutions, Inc. (ESS), of Export, Pennsylvania, protests the evaluation of proposals and award of a contract to Sterling Heritage Corporation, of Great Falls, Virginia, by the Defense Information Systems Agency, Defense Information Technology Contracting Organization (DITCO), under request for proposals (RFP) No. HC1028-09-R-2011. We deny the protest. BACKGROUND The agency initially issued this solicitation in June 2009, seeking proposals to provide support services for the government's charge card programs managed by the Department of Defense (DoD) Unique Identification and Purchase Card Joint Program Management Office. The RFP anticipated award of a single 5-year indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity fixed-price contract with a minimum ordering value of $100,000. Award would be made to the offeror whose proposal represented the best value to the government, considering: (1) technical/management approach; (2) past performance; and (3) cost/price. The solicitation stated that when combined, all non-price factors were significantly more important than cost/price. RFP at 64, 66.
