          Decision

          Matter of:   Dell Federal Systems, L.P.

          File:     B-404996; B-404996.2

          Date:        July 22, 2011

          James  J. McCullough, Esq., and Brian M. Stanford, Esq., Fried, Frank, Harris,

          David S. Black, Esq., and Oliya S. Zamaray, Esq., Holland & Knight LLP, for GTSI
          Corp., the intervenor.
          Erica S. Beardsley, Esq., Department of the Army, for the agency.

          GAO,  participated in the preparation of the decision.
          DIGEST

          Agency  reasonably concluded that the handheld device component of the protester's
          biometric collection system did not meet the solicitation's requirements for fingerprint
          collection and therefore the proposal was technically unacceptable where the

          was  required by the solicitation.

          delivery order under the Information Technology Enterprise Solutions 2--Hardware
          (ITES2-H) contract to GTSI Corp., of Herndon, Virginia, by the Department of the
          Army,  under delivery order request for proposals (DORFP) No. W91 QUZ-07-0008-
          0038  for biometric collection systems, known as the biometric automated toolset-
          Army  (BAT-A). Dell argues that its delivery order proposal was improperly rejected
          as unacceptable.

          We  deny the protest.
