DECISION

Jacobs Technology Inc., of Tullahoma, Tennessee, protests the award of a contract to
TRAX International Company, of Las Vegas, Nevada, under request for proposals
(RFP) No. W9124R-1 3-R-0001, which was issued by the Department of the Army, for
mission test support services at the United States Army Yuma Proving Ground (YPG) in

capability, past performance, and small business participation factors, as well as the
agency's best-value tradeoff.


We deny the protest.
