           DIGEST

           1. In a procurement for the award of a fixed-price task order, an agency complied
           with the solicitation requirement to perform a price realism evaluation where the
           agency recognized that the awardee's lower price reflected lower staffing and
           concluded that the awardee could satisfactorily perform all the task order
           requirements with its proposed staffing.

           2. Protest that awardee failed to provide a fixed price for surge requirements is
           denied where the solicitation only identified a potential for surge and did not require
           offerors to provide prices for this surge.
           DECISION

           H P Enterprise Services, LLC (HP), of Herndon, Virginia, protests the issuance of a
           task order to Pragmatics, Inc., of Reston, Virginia, under task order request for
           proposals (RFP) No. E200450, issued by the Department of Defense, Defense
           information Systems Agency (DISA), for information assurance support for the Air
           Force Network Integration Center. The task order was issued under Pragmatics'
           ENCORE II contract with the agency.


We deny the protest.
