DIGEST

1. Protest that the agency unreasonably evaluated technical and past performance
proposals is denied where the record shows that the evaluation was consistent with the
solicitation, and applicable procurement statutes and regulations.

2. Protest that the agency unreasonably made the selection decision is denied where
the record shows that the tradeoff analysis was consistent with the solicitation's terms.
DECISION

Rigid Security Group, Inc., of Virginia Beach, Virginia, protests the termination of its task
order contract, and the subsequent issuance of a task order contract to B3H
Corporation, of Shalimar, Florida, under request for proposals (RFP)
No. N00189-22-R-3054,  issued by the Department of the Navy for instructor services.
Rigid argues that the agency unreasonably terminated its task order contract as
corrective action in response to a prior protest, unreasonably evaluated proposals, and
improperly made the selection decision.

We  deny the protest.
