DIGEST

1. Protest challenging the agency's evaluation of corporate experience is dismissed as
factually and legally insufficient where protester had no knowledge of the contents of the
awardee's corporate experience quotation.

2. Protest challenging the agency's evaluation of protester's key personnel is denied
where evaluation was reasonable and in accordance with the terms of the solicitation.

3. Protest alleging that agency used an unstated evaluation criterion is denied where
the criterion was reasonably encompassed by the solicitation's evaluation criteria.
DECISION

AECOM   Technical Services, Inc., of Germantown, Maryland, protests the establishment
of a blanket purchase agreement (BPA) with CDM Federal Programs Corporation, of
Fairfax, Virginia, under request for quotation (RFQ) No. 70FA6023Q00000003, issued
by the Department of Homeland Security, Federal Emergency Management  Agency
(FEMA), for program integration and support services. The protester contends that the
agency unreasonably evaluated quotations, which resulted in an unreasonable source
selection decision.


We  dismiss the protest in part and deny it in part.
