          James Therrien for the protester.
          Bridget E. Grant, Esq., Dennis Foley, Esq., and Carrie Parrish, Esq., Department of
          Veterans Affairs, for the agency.

          DIGEST

          Protester's challenge to agency's evaluation of its proposal is denied where record
          shows that the evaluation was reasonable and consistent with terms of solicitation.
          DECISION

          Knome Inc., of Cambridge, Massachusetts, protests the award of a contract to
          Personalis, Inc., of Palo Alto, California, under request for proposals (RFP)
          No. VA-240-12-R-01 54, issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) for
          whole human genome sequencing services in support of the VA's Genomics
          Medicine Program. The protester challenges the evaluation of its technical
          proposal.

          We deny the protest.'

          BACKGROUND

          The RFP, issued under the commercial acquisition procedures of Federal
          Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 12.6, provided for the award of one or more
          indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contracts for whole human genome sequencing


          1 Because a protective order was not issued in connection with the protest, our
          decision is necessarily general.
