Matter of: A&T Systems, Inc. File: B-410767 Date: February 10, 2015 Mark G. Jackson, Esq., and Stowell B. Holcomb, Esq., Jackson Rosenfield LLP, for the protester. Christopher S. Tiroff, Esq., Department of Veterans Affairs, for the agency. Robert T. Wu, Esq., and Tania Calhoun, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest challenging the agency's best-value award decision is denied where the record shows that the agency reasonably determined that the proposals were essentially technically equal, and the awardee was the lowest-priced offeror. DECISION A&T Systems, Inc., of Silver Spring, Maryland, protests the award of an order to Verizon Wireless, of Basking Ridge, New Jersey, by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) under request for task execution plans (RTEP) No. RTEP-0024, TAC- 15-18048, to provide uninterrupted recurring air-time services for numerous devices serviced by the VA's Region 2, Area 1, service delivery points.' A&T argues that the agency unreasonably evaluated its proposal under the stated evaluation criteria, evaluated proposals unequally, and rendered a flawed source selection decision. We deny the protest. 1 Coverage was to be provided for 5,606 devices at 254 service delivery points located in fifteen states, comprised of the 12 Midwestern States, as defined by the U.S. Census Bureau, minus Ohio, and with the addition of Texas, Kentucky, Arkansas and Wyoming. RTEP at 7; Appendix A.
