           DIGEST

           Protest challenging the agency's rejection of a proposal as technically unacceptable
           for failing to respond to certain portions of the solicitation is denied where the
           protester failed to demonstrate that the agency's evaluation was unreasonable or
           inconsistent with the terms of the solicitation.
           DECISION

           ASFA Uluslararasi Insaat Sanayi Ve Ticaret, doing business as ASFA International
           Construction Industry and Trade Inc. (ASFA), of Adana, Turkey, protests the award
           of a contract to Kirnak Ins. San. Ve Tic. Ltd. Sti, also of Adana, Turkey, by the
           Department of the Air Force under request for proposals (RFP) No. FA5685-15-R-
           0006, for construction of an explosive ordinance facility at Incirlik Air Base, Turkey.
           The protester challenges the agency's finding that its proposal was technically
           unacceptable and argues that the agency should have requested clarification
           regarding any missing information.

           We deny the protest.
