           DIGEST

           Protest challenging the evaluation of quotes and best value award decision is
           denied where the record shows that the agency's evaluation and source selection
           were reasonable and consistent with the solicitation.
           DECISION

           PeoplePower LLC, of San Diego, California, protests the award of a contract to
           Gold Coast Helicopter (GCH) Services, LLC, of Glendale, Arizona, pursuant to
           request for quotes (RFQ) No. M67001-14-T-0001, issued by the U.S. Marine Corps
           for aircraft maintenance services. PeoplePower challenges the agency's evaluation
           of its quote and argues that the agency made an unreasonable selection decision.1

           We deny the protest.





           1 PeoplePower was not represented by counsel in this protest. Accordingly, our
           Office did not issue a protective order, and PeoplePower was provided only a
           redacted version of the agency report. In resolving the protest, we reviewed in
           camera unredacted copies of all evaluation and source selection documents and
           have based our decision on the full record. As much of the information reviewed by
           our Office is source selection sensitive and proprietary in nature, our discussion of
           the evaluation is necessarily limited.
