         DIGEST

         Protest is denied where the record shows that the agency evaluated the protesters'

         solicitation's evaluation criteria.
         DECISION

         Veteran Technologists Corporation (VTC) of Baltimore, Maryland, protests the
         decision by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) not to award a contract to
         the firm under request for proposals (RFP) No. HSHQDC-14-R-00009 for Program
         Management, Administrative, Operations (Clerical) and Technical Services (PACTS

         experience and past performance.

         We deny the protest.
