Matter of: Worldwide Information Network Systems, Inc. File: B-408548 Date: November 1, 2013 Paul F. Khoury, Esq., Brian G. Walsh, Esq., and W. Barron A. Avery, Esq., Wiley Rein LLP, for the protester. Michael F. Mason, Esq., C. Peter Dungan, Esq., Erin L. Alexander, Esq., Hogan Lovells US LLP, for Lockheed Martin Corporation, an intervenor. Maj. Brent A. Cotton, and Gregory A. Moritz, Esq., Defense Intelligence Agency, for the agency. Paul E. Jordan, Esq., and David A. Ashen, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest that evaluation ignored changes in awardee's revised final technical proposal is denied where record shows that evaluators were aware of all changes made in final proposal revision and reasonably concluded that the changes did not materially diminish the strength of the proposed approach. 2. Best value determination was unobjectionable where source selection authority reviewed vendors' respective non-price strengths and reasonably determined that protester's technical advantage did not outweigh competing vendor's significantly lower price. DECISION Worldwide Information Network Systems, Inc., of Seabrook, Maryland, a wholly- owned subsidiary of ManTech International Corporation, protests the Defense Intelligence Agency's (DIA) issuance of a task order to Lockheed Martin Corporation, of Gaithersburg, Maryland, under task order request (TOR) No. HHM402-13-R-0038, for enterprise infrastructure engineering services (EIES). Worldwide challenges the evaluation of technical proposals and the source selection. We deny the protest.
