DIGEST

1. Protest alleging awardee's quotation failed to fully comply with solicitation's request
for proof of commitment for satellite bandwidth is denied where protester cannot
establish competitive prejudice because its quotation contained similar deficiencies.

2. Protest challenging the evaluation of quotations is denied where the awardee's
superior ratings stemmed from differences in the quotations and not from disparate
treatment.
DECISION

UltiSat, Inc., of Gaithersburg, Maryland, protests the issuance of a task order to DRS
Global Enterprise Solutions, Inc., of Dulles, Virginia, pursuant to request for quotations
(RFQ) No. 70FA5018Q00000001, issued by the Department of Homeland Security
(DHS), Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), for contingency satellite
services. UltiSat challenges various aspects of the evaluation of quotations and the
resulting source selection decision.


We deny the protest.
