         Matter of:   Lynxnet, LLC

         File:        B-409791 ; B-409791.2

         Date:     August 4, 2014

         Dorn C. McGrath III, Esq., William M. Jack, Esq., and Amba M. Datta, Esq., Barnes
         & Thornburg LLP, for the protester.
         Dismas N. Locaria, Esq., James Y. Boland, Esq., Nathaniel S. Canfield, Esq., and
         Melanie Jones Totman, Esq., Venable LLP, for the intervenor.
         Robert D. English, Esq., Federal Bureau of Investigation, for the agency.
         Heather Weiner, Esq., and Jonathan L. Kang, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
         GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
         DIGEST

         1. Protest challenging the agency's price realism analysis is denied where the
         record shows the agency's analysis was reasonable and adequately documented.

         2. Protest challenging the agency's evaluation of offerors' technical proposals is
         denied where the evaluation was reasonable, consistent with the stated evaluation
         criteria and adequately documented.

         3. Protest challenging agency's source selection decision is denied where the
         record shows that the source selection authority reasonably found that the
         proposals were equal under the non-price factors, and the awardee proposed the
         lower overall price.
         DECISION

         Lynxnet, LLC, of Suffolk, Virginia, protests the award of a contract to Strategic
         Operational Solutions, Inc. (STOPSO), of Vienna, Virginia, under request for
         proposals (RFP) No. DJF-14-1200-R-0000040, issued by the Department of
         Justice, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), for terrorist screening center
         operational support. Lynxnet challenges the FBI's evaluation of the offerors'
         technical proposals, as well as the agency's evaluation of the awardee's security
         and price proposals. The protester also argues that the best value tradeoff and
         source selection decision was unreasonable.
