Marc Lamer, Esq., Kostos and Lamer, PC, for the protester.

DIGEST

1. Challenge to the agency's evaluation of the awardee's corporate experience is
denied where the record shows that the evaluation was reasonable and consistent with
the solicitation's standards for relevancy.

2. Allegation that the agency failed to conduct a price realism analysis is denied
because the protester has not alleged or demonstrated that the awardee's price was
unrealistic.
DECISION

Netizen Corporation, a small business of Allentown, Pennsylvania, protests the
issuance of a task order to BreakPoint Labs, a small business of Dunn Loring, Virginia,
under request for proposals (RFP) No. RFQ1394381 1, issued by the Department of the
Army, Corps of Engineers (Corps), for cybersecurity support services at the Corps'
Engineer Research and Development Center's Information Technology Laboratory.
The protester contends that the agency's evaluation of BreakPoint's proposal was
unreasonable and that the Corps did not perform a price realism analysis as required by
the solicitation.
We deny the protest.


1 Though the solicitation number suggests that this acquisition was issued as a request
for quotations (RFQ), the record reflects that the solicitation was, in fact, a request for
proposals (RFP).
