DIGEST Protest challenging an agency's technical evaluation is denied where, notwithstanding an apparent error, the protester fails to establish competitive prejudice. DECISION Aerospace Training Systems Partners, LLC (ATSP), a small business of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, protests the award of a contract to Trideum Corporation (Trideum), a small business of Huntsville, Alabama, under request for proposals (RFP) No. W56HZV-20-R-L850, issued by the Department of the Army, U. S. Army Materiel Command (Army), for modeling and simulation (M&S) services in support of the Army's Modeling and Simulation Office. The protester argues that the award to Trideum was improper because the agency's evaluation of proposals was unreasonable and failed to follow the evaluation criteria. We deny the protest. BACKGROUND The Army's Modeling and Simulation Office (AMSO) provides training for military officers and Army civilians in M&S practices. Agency Report (AR), Tab 16, RFP at 18. On October 15, 2020, the agency issued the solicitation as a small business set-aside under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) parts 12 and 15 to provide AMSO support services including knowledge management, M&S policy and strategy analysis, and instruction for army and civilian personnel.
