           DIGEST

           Protest challenging various aspects of the agency's evaluation of quotations and
           best value award determination is denied where the record shows the agency's
           evaluation and award decision were reasonable.
           DECISION

           Savantage Financial Services, Inc., of Rockville, Maryland, protests the issuance of
           an order to CSCI Consulting, Inc., of Indianapolis, Indiana, by the Department of
           Defense (DoD), Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS), under request
           for quotations (RFQ) No. KDDVA5RV510 for support services for the agency's
           Defense Departmental Reporting System (DDRS). Savantage challenges the
           agency's evaluation of quotations under each of the non-price factors and the best
           value award determination.

           We deny the protest.

           holders of General Services Administration (GSA) Federal Supply Schedule (FSS)
