Comptroller General Washington, DC 20548 of the United States ....................................................................................................................... DOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE The decision issued on the date below was subject to Decision a GAO Protective Order. This redacted version has been approved for public release. Matter of: Zolon PCS, LLC File: B-417930 Date: November 18, 2019 William T. Welch, Esq., and Orest J. Jowyk, Esq., McMahon, Welch and Learned, PLLC, for the protester. Bree A. Ermentrout, Esq., and Mark B. Grebel, Esq., National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, for the agency. Todd C. Culliton, Esq., and Tania Calhoun, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest that the agency unreasonably evaluated protester's proposal is denied where the record shows that the evaluation was consistent with the terms of the solicitation. DECISION Zolon PCS, LLC, of Ashburn, Virginia, protests its exclusion from the competitive range under request for proposals (RFP) No. HM0476-19-R-001 7, issued by the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) for systems engineering and integration support services. Zolon argues that the agency unreasonably evaluated its proposal. We deny the protest. BACKGROUND On January 24, 2019, NGA issued the RFP to procure systems engineering and integration support services to be performed on a cost-plus-award-fee contract over a 1-year base period and four 1-year option periods. RFP at 4-10. When evaluating proposals, NGA would initially assess on a pass or fail basis whether each proposal was compliant with the solicitation's instructions. Id. at 80. NGA would then evaluate proposals under technical/management, past performance, security, and cost factors. Id. at 79-80. The security factor would be assessed on a pass or fail basis, but NGA would perform a best-value tradeoff analysis considering the remaining factors. Id. at 81-82. The technical/management factor was more important than the past
