File:        B-419209

Date:     December 23, 2020

Louis A. Chiarella, Esq., and Peter H. Tran, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO,

DIGEST

1. Protest challenging the agency's evaluation of protester's technical proposal is
denied where the evaluation was reasonable and consistent with the stated evaluation
factor, and did not employ unstated evaluation criteria.

2. Protester is not an interested party to challenge other aspects of the agency's
evaluation of offerors' proposals where the protester's proposal was reasonably
determined technically unacceptable and ineligible for award.
DECISION

Trailboss Enterprises, Inc., of Fort Worth, Texas, protests the award of a contract to
G4S  Secure Solutions (USA) Inc., of Jupiter, Florida, under request for proposals (RFP)
No. 70CDR20R00000005, issued   by the Department of Homeland Security, Immigration
and Customs  Enforcement (ICE), for detainee transportation services in the San
Antonio, Texas, area. Trailboss contends that the agency's evaluation of offerors'
proposals and resulting award decision were improper.

We  deny the protest.

BACKGROUND

The ICE is responsible for the detention, health, welfare, transportation, and deportation
of immigrants in removal proceedings and immigrants subject to final orders of removal.
