Protest alleging agency misevaluated proposals is denied where the record shows that
the agency's evaluation was reasonable and consistent with the terms of the solicitation.
DECISION

small business of Tyrone, Georgia, under request for proposals (RFP) No. SP3300-20-
R-5005 issued by the Defense Logistics Agency for warehouse and logistics support

the same subcontractor, and disparately evaluated past performance.
We deny the protest.
