           DIGEST

           Challenge to the agency's evaluation of the protester's quotation as technically
           unacceptable is denied where the evaluation was reasonable and consistent with
           the terms of the solicitation.
           DECISION

           HP Enterprise Services, LLC (HPES), of Piano, Texas, protests the issuance of a
           task order to Knowledge Consulting Group (KCG), of Reston, Virginia, under
           request for quotations (RFQ) No. GSC-QFOB-BPA-1 4-32847, issued by the General
           Services Administration (GSA) for continuous diagnostics and mitigation (CDM)
           tools and continuous monitoring as a service (CMaaS), for the Department of
           Homeland Security (DHS). HPES argues that the agency's evaluation of its
           technical approach quotation was improper.


We deny the protest.
