         Matter  of:  Science Applications International Corporation

         File:        B-403051

         Date:        September 17, 2010

         James J. McCullough, Esq., Steven A. Alerding, Esq., and Brian M. Stanford, Esq.,
         Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson LLP, for the protester.
         Paul F. Khoury, Esq., Rand L. Allen, Esq., Jon W. Burd, Esq., and Kara M. Sacilotto,
         Esq., Wiley Rein LLP, for Booz Allen Hamilton Inc., the intervenor.
         Debra Haworth, Esq., and Devon Romig, Esq., Department of Defense, Defense
         Threat Reduction Agency, for the agency.
         Jonathan L. Kang, Esq., and James A. Spangenberg, Esq., Office of the General
         Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
         DIGEST

         1. Protest challenging the evaluation of the protester's proposal is denied where the
         record shows that the agency assessed weaknesses that were reasonably related to
         the stated evaluation criteria, and the agency reasonably concluded that the proposal
         had not provided sufficient details.

         2. Protest challenging the evaluation of awardee's past performance is denied where
         the agency reasonably concluded that statements concerning the awardee's
         performance as a subcontractor to the protester under the incumbent contract did
         not reflect negative information concerning the awardee, but were more related to
         the protester's supervision of its subcontractors.
         DECISION

         Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC), of Alexandria, Virginia,
         protests the award of a contract to Booz Allen Hamilton Inc. (BAH), of McLean,
         Virginia, under request for proposals (RFP) No. HDTRAl-10-R-0003, issued by the
         Department  of Defense, Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA), for advisory and
         assistant support services for the agency's cooperative threat reduction (CTR)
         program. SAIC  challenges the DTRA's evaluation of its technical proposal and the
         evaluation of BAH's past performance.


We  deny the protest.
