Riback, Esq., and Tania Calhoun, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest challenging agency's evaluation of protester's proposal is denied where the record shows that the agency's evaluation was reasonable and consistent with the terms of the solicitation, as well as applicable statutes and regulations. 2. Protester is not an interested party to challenge eligibility of awardee to receive task order where record shows there is another offeror that would be in line for award if protester's allegations concerning awardee are correct. DECISION Morpho Detection, Inc., of Newark, California, protests the issuance of a delivery order to Implant Sciences Corporation (ISC), of Wilmington, Massachusetts, under delivery order request for proposals (RFP) No. HTHS04-14-R-CT2050, issued by the Department of Homeland Security, Transportation Security Administration, for explosive trace detection (ETD) units.

Morpho also maintains that ISC is ineligible for issuance of the delivery order, and that the agency unreasonably found ISC responsible.
