           DECISION

           WingGate Travel, Inc., et al., protest the terms of request for proposals (RFP)
           No. H98210-10-R-0006 issued by the Defense Human Resources Activity (DHRA) on
           behalf of the Defense Travel Management Office (DTMO) for travel management
           services to support the commercial travel office (CTO). The protesters allege that
           the terms of the RFP impose undue risk of significant variations in workload on
           prospective small-business contractors.

           We deny the protest.

           The RFP contemplates the award of up to six contracts to provide travel
           management services to support official travel activities of authorized Department of
           Defense travelers for six separate travel areas within the continental United States--
           one award per travel area. The RFP requires offerors to submit separate proposals
