Protest challenging an agency's evaluation of proposals under the technical evaluation factor is denied where the evaluation was reasonable and the agency's assessment of adjectival ratings was consistent with the solicitation. 2. Protest challenging an agency's evaluation of protester's and awardee's proposals under the cost/price evaluation factor is denied where the evaluation was reasonable, including the agency's interpretation of a solicitation provision allowing offerors to submit documentation in addition to what the solicitation explicitly required to support proposed indirect rates. 3. Protest challenging agency's best-value tradeoff determination is denied where the record reflects that the contracting officer reasonably found the proposals of the awardee and the protester to be technically equal and selected the lower-priced proposal for award. DECISION NCI Information Systems, Inc. (NCI), of Reston, Virginia, protests the issuance of a task order to AECOM Management Services, Inc.
