Protest that the agency misevaluated the awardee's technical proposal under staffing and past performance subfactors is denied where the record shows that the evaluation was reasonable; protester's mere disagreement does not render the agency's judgment unreasonable. 2. Protest that the agency did not accept the protester's proposed indirect rates in the agency's cost realism evaluation is denied where the record shows that the protester was not prejudiced, even assuming the protester's objections are correct. DECISION Rolf Jensen & Associates, Inc. protests the award of a contract by the Volpe National Transportation Systems Center, Department of Transportation (DOT), to Hughes Associates, Inc. under request for proposals (RFP) No. DTRS57-01-R-20023, for fire life safety program engineering services, including the support of fire safety improvements at airport facilities. We deny the protest. The RFP provided for the award of a indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity task-order contract. Depending upon the services required, task orders would be issued on either a fixed-price or cost-reimbursement basis.
