Protest challenging agency's evaluation of protester's and awardee's proposals is denied where record supports the agency's evaluation and protest merely reflects disagreement with the agency's judgments. 2. Protest challenging agency's best-value determination based on alleged flaws in the evaluation of proposals is denied where record supports agency's evaluation. DECISION XLA Associates, Inc., of Vienna, Virginia, protests the U.S. Agency for International Development's (USAID) award of a contract to Macfadden & Associates, Inc., of Silver Spring, Maryland, pursuant to request for proposals (RFP) No. SOL-OAA-1 4- 000062 to provide support services for USAID's Bureau of Democracy, Conflict, and Humanitarian Assistance (DCHA).
