DECISION

North South Consulting Group, LLC (NSCG), a small business, of Elizabethtown,
Kentucky, protests the award of a contract to Dynamic Systems Technology, Inc.
(Dynamic), also a small business, of Fairfax, Virginia, under request for proposals (RFP)
No. W9133L-1 8-R-0001, issued by the Department of the Army, National Guard
Bureau, for support to the Army National Guard's child and youth school services
(CYSS) program. NSCG argues that the Army misevaluated its proposal and made an
unreasonable source selection decision.


We deny the protest.
