         DIGEST

         Protest challenging agency's price evaluation is denied where record shows that
         agency performed a reasonable and comprehensive price realism analysis that was
         consistent with the terms of the solicitation.
         DECISION

         East Silk Route Logistics, LLC (ESR), of Kabul, Afghanistan, protests the
         U.S. Transportation Command's (USTRANSCOM) award of multiple contracts
         pursuant to request for proposals (RFP) No. HTC711-13-R-R002, for commercial
         trucking services in Afghanistan.' ESR asserts that the agency failed to properly
         perform a price realism evaluation in connection with the contract awards.

         We deny the protest.




         1 USTRANSCOM is one of nine unified commands within the Department of
         Defense (DOD). The mission of USTRANSCOM is to provide air, land, and sea
         transportation for the DOD, both in peace and wartime. This procurement is a
         follow-on to USTRANSCOM's prior national Afghanistan trucking contract (NAT I),
         and is generally referred to as NAT I1.
