          DECISION

          Control Systems Research, Inc., (CSR) protests the award of a contract by the
          Department of the Army to Atmospheric Technology Services Company (ATSC)

          support services (MSS) at the U.S. Army Kwajalein Atoll/Reagan Test Site

          We deny the protest.

          The USAKA/RTS is located on Kwajalein, a remote atoll in the Republic of the
          Marshall Islands, 2,100 miles from Hawaii and 2,000 miles from Guam. The

          1 The ITCZ is the region that circles the earth, near the equator, where the trade
          winds of the Northern and Southern Hemisphere come together, which causes
          unique and varying weather patterns. See http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov.
