          Matter of:  Lamar Strong Associates, LLC

          File:       B-407170

          Date:       November 19, 2012

          Gary L. Rigney, Esq., Gary L. Rigney Law Office; and Jon D. Levin, Esq., Lamar
          Justin Burney, Esq., J. Andrew Watson, III, Esq., and Jordan L. Lenger, Esq.,
          Maynard Cooper & Gale, PC, for the protester.
          James H. Roberts, III, Esq., Van Scoyoc Kelly & Roberts PLLC, for Systems
          Kinetics Integration, Inc., the intervenor.
          Capt. Anthony V. Lenze, Department of the Army, for the agency.
          Jonathan L. Kang, Esq., and James A. Spangenberg, Esq., Office of the General
          Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
          DIGEST

          Protest is denied where the agency reasonably concluded that the protester's
          proposal was unacceptable and ineligible for award because it did not demonstrate
          that an individual proposed for a key personnel position had the experience required
          under the solicitation.
          DECISION

          Lamar Strong Associates, LLC (LSA), of Lorton, Virginia, protests the award of a
          contract to Systems Kinetics Integration, Inc. (SKI), of Alexandria, Virginia, under
          request for proposals (RFP) No. W91WAW-12-R-0039, issued by the Department of
          the Army, for services in support of the Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff for
          Programs. The protester argues that the agency's evaluation of its technical
          proposal was unreasonable.

          We deny the protest.

          BACKGROUND

          and materials contract for a 1-year base period with two 1-year options. The RFP
