DECISION

MicroTechnologies LLC (MT), of Tysons Corner, Virginia, protests the issuance of a
task order to SMS Data Products Group, Inc., of McLean, Virginia, under request for
proposals (RFP) No. FA2816-20-R-0004, issued by the Department of the Air Force,
United States Space Force, to acquire information technology support services. MT
argues that the agency misevaluated its proposal and made an unreasonable source
selection decision.

We deny the protest.

indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) task order to perform the solicited services
for a 1-month phase-in period, an 11-month base period and four 1-year option periods.
Offerors were advised that proposals would be evaluated considering two equally-
