DIGEST

1. Protest challenging the agency's rejection of the protester's proposal as
unacceptable is denied where each proposal was to include a video; the agency was
unable to view the entirety of the protester's video during its evaluation; and the agency
was not legally required to allow the protester to resubmit its video.

2. Protest challenging the agency's decision to exclude the protester from interchanges
is denied where the agency's exclusion of the protester's proposal was in accordance
with the terms of the solicitation.
DECISION

DirectViz Solutions, LLC (DVS), of Vienna, Virginia, protests the issuance of a task
order to Vectrus Systems Corporation (Vectrus), of Colorado Springs, Colorado, under
fair opportunity request for proposals (FORP) No. 390586, for information
technology (IT) services and support for the Department of the Army. The protester
argues that the agency unreasonably evaluated its proposal as technically unacceptable
and improperly failed to conduct interchanges with it.


We  deny the protest.
