Protest challenging the evaluation of quotations is denied where the record shows that the evaluation was reasonable and consistent with the solicitation's stated evaluation criteria. 2. In conducting best-value tradeoff, agency properly considered bases for underlying evaluation ratings, and not just the ratings themselves. 3. Agency did not treat protester disparately in best-value tradeoff where bases for finding favorable aspects of awardee's quotation were not included in protester's quotation. DECISION Federal Management Systems, Inc. (FMS), a small business located in Washington, D.C., protests the issuance of a task order to Peridot Solutions, LLC, a small business located in McLean, Virginia, under request for quotations (RFQ) No. 612366359, issued by the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA), Defense Information Technology Contracting Office, for acquisition, contract management, and program support and portfolio management for DISA's digital capabilities and security center. FMS argues that the agency unreasonably evaluated quotations, failed to conduct a reasonable best-value tradeoff, and treated vendors disparately in making the source selection decision.
