         DIGEST

         Protest alleging that the agency improperly evaluated the protester's proposal is
         denied where the evaluation was reasonable and in accordance with the
         solicitation's evaluation criteria.
         DECISION

         ACG Systems Inc., of Annapolis, Maryland, protests the rejection of its proposal
         under request for proposals (RFP) No. N65236-13-R-001 6, issued by the
         Department of the Navy, for command and control commercial-off-the-shelf
         equipment, software and hardware licenses, maintenance associated with
         equipment, and renewals for software and hardware licenses, maintenance, and
         warranties. ACG argues that the agency's evaluation of its proposal was
         unreasonable and not in accordance with the solicitation.

         We deny the protest.

         BACKGROUND

         The agency issued the RFP on January 8, 2015, as an unrestricted solicitation for
         indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contracts, and reserved the right to make a
         single or multiple awards. RFP at 32. The solicitation contemplated award for a
         term of 1 year with four 1-year options, on a best-value basis, considering price and
         the following evaluation factors: reseller relationships/agreements; technical
         capability; past performance; and small business participation. Id. at 80-84. The
         value of the contracts was not to exceed $750 million. Id. at 7.
