Paul A. Debolt, Esq., James Y. Boland, Esq., and Michael T. Francel, Esq., Venable,

DIGEST

Request for reconsideration is denied where the requesting party has not shown that
our decision contains either errors of fact or law that warrant reversal or modification of
the decision.
DECISION

Sotera Defense Solutions, Inc., (Sotera), of Herndon, Virginia, requests that we
reconsider our decision in Sotera Defense Solutions, Inc., B-414056 et al.,
Jan. 31, 2017, 2017 CPD  46, in which we denied Sotera's protest of the issuance of a
task order to ManTech Advanced Systems International (ManTech), of Fairfax, Virginia,
by the Department of the Army under request for task order proposals (RFTOP) for
software and engineering support. Sotera alleges various errors in our decision with
regard to our conclusions that the agency's cost realism analysis was reasonable and
that Sotera was not an interested party to challenge the agency's evaluation of
ManTech's technical proposal.

We deny the request for reconsideration.

BACKGROUND

The RFTOP, issued under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) part 16, contemplated
award on a best-value tradeoff basis considering cost and technical factors. As relevant
here, the solicitation provided that the proposed cost would be evaluated for price
reasonableness and cost realism.
