DIGEST

Protest challenging agency's evaluation of proposals and source selection decision is
denied where record shows that agency's evaluation was reasonable and consistent
with the terms of the solicitation, and that the selection decision also was both
consistent with the terms of the solicitation and rational.
DECISION

SOC  LLC, of Chantilly, Virginia, protests the issuance of a task order to Janus Global
Operations, LLC, of Lenoir City, Tennessee, under request for proposals (RFP) No.
19AQMM1   9R01 12, issued by the Department of State for protective guard services,
static guard services, and specialized security services to be provided at the U.S.
Mission Somalia. SOC  argues that the agency misevaluated proposals and made an
unreasonable source selection decision.

We  deny the protest.

BACKGROUND

The RFP  contemplates the issuance, on a best-value tradeoff basis, of a hybrid fixed-
price, cost-reimbursement type task order for a base year and four 1-year options to
provide security-related services at designated locations in support of the U.S. Mission
