          Joseph G. Billings, Esq., Miles & Stockbridge P.C., for the intervenor.

          DIGEST

          Protest that agency misevaluated awardee's proposal is denied where record
          shows that the agency's evaluation was reasonable and in accordance with the
          terms of the solicitation and applicable statutes and regulations.
          DECISION

          Avaya Government Solutions, Inc., of Fairfax, Virginia, protests the issuance of a
          task order to American Systems Corporation (ASC), of Chantilly, Virginia, under
          request for proposals (RFP) No. VA1 18-13-R-0369, issued by the Department of
          Veterans Affairs (VA) for an enterprise interactive voice response (IVR) system.
          Avaya maintains that the agency improperly found the proposal of ASC technically
          acceptable.

          We deny the protest.

          BACKGROUND

          The RFP contemplates the issuance of a fixed-price task order to provide an IVR
          system during the base year of performance, along with up to two 1-year options to
          provide maintenance and technical support for the system.' The IVR is a call

          1 The RFP was issued to contractors previously awarded contracts under the
          General Services Administration's Connections II government wide acquisition
                                                                             (continued...)
