         Date:       July 23, 2015

         Mark G. Jackson, Esq., and Stowell B. Holcomb, Esq., Jackson Rosenfield LLP, for
         the protester.
         Scott N. Flesch, Esq., and ChristinaLynn E. McCoy, Esq., Department of the Army,
         for the agency.

         DIGEST

         Protest challenging agency's evaluation of a proposal as technically unacceptable is
         denied, where the record reflects that the agency's evaluation was reasonable and
         consistent with the terms of the solicitation.
         DECISION

         Hughes Group, LLC, dba HG Solutions, of Tacoma, Washington, protests the award
         of a contract to Oryza Group, LLC, of Douglasville, Georgia, under request for
         proposals (RFP) No. W91247-14-R-0005, issued by the Department of the Army,
         Reserve Command, for sustainment information systems. Hughes contends that
         the agency unreasonably determined that its proposal was technically
         unacceptable.

         We deny the protest.

         period, an 11-month base period, and two 1-year option periods. The RFP required
         that the successful offeror would provide SIS support in seven business areas (BA):
         project management support (BA 1); sustainment automation system management
         office (SASMO) support (BA 2); network and technical support (BA 3); standard
