           DIGEST

           Protest challenging agency's evaluation of protester's proposal is denied where the
           record shows that the agency reasonably performed its evaluation in accordance
           with terms of the solicitation.
           DECISION

           Electronic Interiors, Inc. (ElI), of Saint Paul, Minnesota, protests the failure of the
           U.S. Judiciary, Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts (AOUSC) to select it as one
           of the firms with which to negotiate a contract under solicitation No.
           USCA-10-R-0140, for the evaluation, design, and installation support of courthouse
           technology electronic systems in new and existing U.S. courthouses. The protester
           argues that the agency's evaluation of its proposal was flawed.

           We deny the protest.

           This procurement was conducted pursuant to the Brooks Act, 40 U.S.C. § 1101 et seg.
           (2006) and its implementing regulations, Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR)
           subpart 36.6. In accordance with these regulations, on August 30, 2010, the agency
           posted a solicitation on the Federal Business Opportunities website inviting
           interested firms to submit a completed Standard Form (SF) 330, Architect/Engineer
           (A/E) Qualification, also referred to as a proposal. The solicitation contemplated the
           award of multiple indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity A/E contracts for various
           services involving the evaluation, design, and installation support of courthouse
           technology electronic systems in new and existing U.S. Court projects in any part of
