         Matter of:   Enterprise Solutions Realized, Inc.; Unissant, Inc.

         File:     B-409642; B-409642.2

         Date:        June 23, 2014

         Lawrence P. Block, Esq., Stinson Leonard Street LLP, for Enterprise Solutions
         Realized, Inc.; and Christopher R. Shiplett, Esq., for Unissant, Inc., the protesters.
         Cyrus E. Phillips IV, Esq., Albo & Oblon LLP, for Sevatec, Incorporated, the
         intervenor.
         Barbara Walthers, Esq., Mark A. Allen, Esq., Beth Sturgess, Esq., and
         Eric Crane, Esq., Department of Homeland Security, for the agency.
         Heather Weiner, Esq., and Jonathan L. Kang, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
         GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
         DIGEST

         Protests challenging the agency's evaluation of the protesters' proposals as
         technically unacceptable are denied where the agency reasonably concluded that
         the protesters' proposals failed to provide certifications and information for proposed
         key personnel, as required by the solicitation.
         DECISION

         Enterprise Solutions Realized, Inc. (ESR), of Columbia, Maryland, and Unissant,
         Inc., of Reston, Virginia, protest the issuance of a task order to Sevatec,
         Incorporated, under task order request for proposal (TORFP) No. HSSCCG-1 3-R-
         00026, by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), United States Citizenship
         and Immigration Services (USCIS), for data and business intelligence support
         services. The protesters argue that the agency improperly found their proposals
         technically unacceptable and ineligible for award.

         We deny the protests.

         BACKGROUND

         On July 17, 2013, DHS issued the TORFP to all contract holders under the National
         Institutes of Health's (NIH) CIO-SP3 small-business government-wide acquisition
         contract, which is an indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (ID/IQ) contract, for data
