DIGEST

1. Protest challenging the evaluation of the realism of the awardee's proposed costs is
denied where the agency reasonably found that the costs were realistic and did not
require adjustments.

2. Protest challenging the agency's evaluation of technical proposals is denied where
the evaluations were reasonable and consistent with the terms of the solicitation.

3. Protest challenging the evaluation of the awardee's corporate experience is denied

DECISION

OBXtek, Inc., a service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB), of McLean,
Virginia, protests the issuance of a task order to Beshenich Muir & Associates, LLC
(BMA), also a SDVOSB,  of Leavenworth, Kansas, under request for proposals (RFP)
No. RS3-20-0044, which was issued by the Department of the Army, Army Materiel
Command,   for program management, administrative support, and training at regional
signal training sites (RSTS). The protester argues that the agency unreasonably
evaluated OBXtek's and BMA's cost and technical proposals.


We  deny the protest.
