         solicitation's evaluation criteria, and adequately documented.
         DECISION

         General Dynamics Information Technology, Inc. (GDIT), of Fairfax, Virginia, protests
         the issuance of a task order to Science Applications International Corp. (SAIC), of
         Alexandria, Virginia, under request for proposals (RFP) No. W52P1 J-1 1 -R-0084,
         issued by the Department of the Army to obtain information technology support
         services for the G-2 Army Military Intelligence Enterprise (GAME) requirement.
         GDIT argues that the agency unreasonably evaluated proposals in certain respects,
         and conducted an improper best value determination.

         We deny the protest.
