         DIGEST

         1. Challenge to a protester's status as an interested party to protest the award of a
         task order based on the protester's alleged ineligibility for award under the terms of
         the underlying indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contract is denied where little
         weight is ascribed to the agency's redetermination of eligibility rendered during the
         heat of litigation, which reverses the agency's contemporaneous eligibility
         determination.

         2. Protest challenging the agency's evaluation of proposals and resulting award
         decision is denied where the evaluation and resulting award decision are
         reasonable, adequately documented, and in accordance with the terms of the
         solicitation and applicable law and regulation.
         DECISION

         Computer World Services Corporation (CWS), of Washington, D.C., protests the
         award of a task order to VariQ Corporation, of Rockville, Maryland, by the United
         States Coast Guard under request for proposals (RFP) No. HSCG38-14-R-410005
         for engineered system support services. CWS challenges the reasonableness of
         the agency's evaluation of proposals and source selection decision.


We deny the protest.
