          File:        B-404495.2

          Date:        November 4, 2011

          Daniel S. Koch, Esq., and Kevin K. D'Anna, Esq., Paley, Rothman, Goldstein,
          Rosenberg Eig & Cooper, Chartered, for the protester.
          John E Jensen, Esq., Daniel S. Herzfeld, Esq., Evan D. Wesser, Esq. and Nicole Y.
          Beeler, Esq., Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman LLP, for Secure Mission Solutions
          LLC, the intervenor.
          Reagan N. Clyne, Esq., Department of Homeland Security, for the agency.
          Charles W. Morrow, Esq., and James A. Spangenberg, Esq., Office of the General
          Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
          DIGEST

          Protest against evaluation of proposal is denied where the record reasonably
          supports the agency's evaluation of the protester's proposal based on a diagram
          included in the proposal that reflected that the protester's technical approach did not
          satisfy the solicitation's requirements.
          DECISION

          XTec, Inc., of Reston, Virginia, protests the award of a contract to Secure Mission
          Solutions LLC, of Washington, D.C., under request for proposals (RFP) No. HSSSO1-
          10-R-0046, issued by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), United States
          Secret Service (USSS), for an access control and visitor management system. XTec
          challenges USSS's evaluation of its proposal.

          We deny the protest.

          BACKGROUND

          The USSS issued the RFP for fixed-price proposals to modernize and integrate
          access control procedures and technologies for identification, physical access
          control, and logical access control at the White House and the Vice President's
          residence. The system was to be installed on the Government's site in the
          Washington, D.C. area. RFP amend. 1 at 4, 28.
