          Decision

          Matter of:   Cybermedia Technologies, Inc.

          File:        B-405511.3

          Date:        September 22, 2011

          William W. Goodrich, Jr., Esq., Judith B. Kassel, Esq., and Patrick R. Quigley, Esq.,
          Arent Fox LLP, for the protester.
          Maj. John C. Dohn, II, Department of the Army, for the agency.

          the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
          DIGEST

          Protest that an agency improperly decided to award only eight contracts, rather than
          nine, after concluding that eight awards would meet the agency's projected needs,
          and after identifying natural breaks between offerors' evaluated prices, is
          dismissed for failure to state a valid basis of protest where the solicitation provided
          only for multiple awards to the lowest-priced technically acceptable offerors, and did
          not set limits on the agency's judgment in deciding how many contracts to award.
          DECISION

          Cybermedia Technologies, Inc., doing business as CTEC, of Reston, Virginia, a
          small business, protests the award of contracts to eight firms1 by the Department of
          the Army under request for proposals (RFP) No. W911 SO-11 -R-001 1 for training
          services to support the distributed learning program at the Army Training and
          Doctrine Command schools. CTEC argues that the Army improperly awarded only
          eight contracts, and should have awarded a ninth contract to CTEC.



          1 The eight awardees are The Cogar Group, LTD, of Burke, Virginia; KeyBridge
          Technologies, Inc., of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; Craig Technical Consulting Inc.,
          doing business as Craig Technologies, of Melbourne, Florida; Information Experts,
          Inc., of Reston, Virginia; Delan Associates, Inc., of Freeport, New York; Nangwik
          Services, LLC, of Jacksonville, Florida; The Angelo Group, Inc., of Martinez,
          Georgia; and Akima Infrastructure Services LLC, of Anchorage, Alaska.
