          DIGEST

          Protests challenging agency's cost realism evaluation are denied where record
          shows that agency performed a reasonable and adequate evaluation of cost
          proposals.
          DECISION

          Energy Enterprise Solutions, LLC (EES), of Germantown, Maryland, and Digital
          Management, Inc. (DMI), of Bethesda, Maryland, protest the issuance of a task
          order to ActioNet, Inc. of Vienna, Virginia, under request for proposals (RFP)
          No. DE-SOL-0001 043, issued by the Department of Energy (DOE) for information
          technology support services.' Both protesters maintain that the agency
          misevaluated proposals and made an unreasonable source selection decision.

          We deny the protests.
          BACKGROUND

          1 The RFP was issued under the General Services Administration's small business
          Alliant government-wide acquisition contract program and was limited to small
          business contract holders under that program.
