           DIGEST

           Protest challenging the agency's assignment of various weaknesses to protester's
           quotation, and issuance of a task order to vendor with a higher technically-rated and
           higher-priced quotation, is denied where record shows evaluation and best-value
           source selection were reasonable and consistent with solicitation terms.
           DECISION

           K and V Limousine Service, LLC (K&V) protests the issuance of a task order to
           RHG Group, Inc. by the Department of Justice under request for quotations (RFQ)
           No. DJJF-14-RFQ-0846 for bus shuttle services. The protester contends that the
           agency's evaluation and source selection were unreasonable.

           We deny the protest.'

           BACKGROUND

           The RFQ was issued on January 23, 2014, pursuant to Federal Acquisition
           Regulation (FAR) Subpart 8.4 and was set aside for small business concerns. The
           solicitation sought quotations from vendors holding General Services Administration
           Federal Supply Schedule No. 48 contracts for transportation services. The RFQ

           1 Because a protective order was not issued in connection with the protest, our
           decision is necessarily general.
