           File:        B-410387

           Karen R. Harbaugh, Esq., and Robert E. Gregg, Esq., Squire Patton Boggs-US,

           Robert J. McMullen, Esq., Department of the Navy, for the agency.
           Eric M. Ransom, Esq., and Edward Goldstein, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
           GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
           DIGEST

           Protest that agency introduced unstated evaluation criteria is denied where
           agency's evaluation was reasonable and consistent with the terms of the
           solicitation.
           DECISION

           Avaya Government Solutions, Inc., of Fairfax, Virginia, protests the award of a
           contract to Pragmatics, Inc., of Reston, Virginia, under solicitation No. N00189-14-
           R-ZO1 7, issued by the Department of the Navy for litigation support services
           concerning the Navy Claims Defense of the Iranian Foreign Military Sales Program.
           Avaya alleges that the agency introduced unstated criteria in its evaluation of
           Avaya's proposal.

           We deny the protest.

           BACKGROUND

           The Navy issued the solicitation on January 23, 2014, in order to award a fixed-
           price contract for litigation support services for one base-year and six one-year
           option periods. The solicitation is a follow-on to an ongoing contract for which
           Avaya, the protester, is the incumbent. Pragmatics, the awardee, is an Avaya
           subcontractor under the incumbent effort.
