         DIGEST

         Protest that contracting agency unreasonably evaluated quotation as technically
         unacceptable is denied where the record shows that the evaluation was reasonable
         and consistent with the solicitation's evaluation criteria.
         DECISION

         Convergys Corporation, of Cincinnati, Ohio, protests the rejection of its quotation
         and the issuance of a task order to Lockheed Martin Services, Inc., of Rockville,
         Maryland, under request for quotations (RFQ) No. R-OPC-23349, issued by the
         Department  of Housing and Urban Development  for call center services to respond
         to inquiries received by the Client Management Center (CMC) of the Federal Housing
         Administration's (FHA) Single Family Housing Program. The protester contends that
         the agency unreasonably evaluated its quotation.

         We  deny the protest.

         The RFQ, issued on August 25, 2008, called for the issuance of a task order for
         specified call center support services; the RFQ was issued to call center contractors
         that had previously been awarded indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contracts
         under the USA Contact multiple award contract, managed by the General Services
