DIGEST An agency's evaluation of technical proposals is a matter within the agency's discretion since the agency is responsible for defining its needs and the best methods for accommodating them. DECISION CETENAGROUP protests the award of a contract to Lincoln Group, LLC by the Department of the Army under request for proposals (RFP) No. W91B4N-07-R-0060 for services supporting the agency's Joint Improvised Explosive Device Defeat Organization (JIEDDO) information campaign effort. We deny the protest. JIEDDO was established to coordinate efforts among agencies to help eliminate the threat posed by improvised explosive devices. To this end, the RFP sought proposals for the synchronized and phased dissemination of approved billboards, flyers, posters, newspaper advertisements, television advertisements, radio messages, 60-minute television programs, and video compact discs in Afghanistan; this campaign seeks to, among other things, separate the bomb makers and users from the support of the populace and to encourage the local populace to take responsibility for their communities and report suspicious activities. Contracting Officer's Statement at 1; RFP, Statement of Work (SOW), at 18.
