         DIGEST

         1. Protest that agency's use of internal evaluation instructions for the purpose of
         evaluating proposals represented unstated evaluation criteria is denied where the
         evaluation was reasonable and consistent with the terms of the solicitation.

         2. Protest of the agency's technical and past performance evaluations is denied
         where the evaluations were reasonable and consistent with the stated evaluation
         criteria.
         DECISION

         Alliant SB CTA, LLC (ASC), of Omaha, Nebraska, protests the issuance of a task
         order to Criterion Systems, Inc., of Vienna, Virginia, by the General Services
         Administration (GSA) under request for proposals (RFP) No. ID05140054, issued
         under the GSA's Alliant Small Business Government Wide Acquisition Contract, for
         information technology support for the Department of Agriculture's National
         Information Technology Center. ASC argues that the agency's evaluation utilized
         unstated evaluation criteria, was inconsistent with the terms of the RFP, and was
         unreasonable.


We deny the protest.
