         File:       B-411585

         Date:       August 26, 2015

         Daniel Strouse, Esq., Cohen Mohr LLP, for the protester.
         Wade L. Brown, Esq., Department of the Army, for the agency.
         Joshua R. Gillerman, and Nora K. Adkins, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
         GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
         DIGEST

         Protest challenging agency's technical evaluation is denied where record shows
         that the evaluation was reasonable and consistent with the stated evaluation
         criteria.
         DECISION

         SSI Technology, Inc., (SSI), a veteran-owned small business (VOSB), of Madison
         Heights, Michigan, protests the Department of the Army's issuance of a task order
         to Ace Electronics, Inc. (Ace), of Metuchen, New Jersey, under request for
         quotations (RFQ) No. W1 5QKN-1 5-R-0089, for W10 cables for the family of
         medium tactical vehicles (FMTV). SSI challenges the agency's evaluation of its
         quotation as technically unacceptable.

         We deny the protest.

         BACKGROUND

         The RFQ was issued on April 20, 2015, to holders of a previously established
         blanket purchase agreement (BPA), including SSI and Ace. The solicitation
         contemplated the issuance of a fixed-price task order for the fabrication, packaging,
         and shipping of FMTV W1 0 cables to be used in the common remotely-operated
         weapon station (CROWS).' Agency Report (AR), Tab C-1, Evaluation Plan, at 1;
