           File:        B-413614.4; B-413614.17

           Date:        November 29, 2016

           Janine S. Benton, Esq., John M. Murdock, Esq., Kathy C. Potter, Esq., Sharon A.
           Roach, Esq., and Rosanne E. Stafiej, Esq., Benton Potter & Murdock, PC, for the

           GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
           DIGEST

           Protest is denied where the record shows that the agency evaluated the protester's
           corporate experience reasonably and consistent with the solicitation's evaluation
           criteria.
           DECISION

           Teracore, Inc., of Herndon, Virginia, 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 II). The
           protester challenges DHS's evaluation of Teracore's corporate experience.

           We deny the protest.
