           DIGEST

           Protest challenging the agency's evaluation of protester's technical proposal is
           denied where the evaluation was reasonable, consistent with the stated evaluation
           factors, and adequately documented.
           DECISION

           Mistral Inc., of Bethesda, Maryland, protests the award of a contract to Tactical
           Micro, Inc., of Fredericksburg, Virginia, under request for proposals (RFP) No.
           HSBP1012-R-0054, issued by the Department of Homeland Security, United States
           Customs and Border Protection (CBP), to acquire new, non-developmental mobile
           video surveillance systems (MVSS).1 Mistral asserts that the agency unreasonably
           evaluated its technical proposal.

           We deny the protest.




           1 MVSS is a mobile surveillance system used by the United States Border Patrol
           (Border Patrol) in border area operations that are more accessible by 4x4 trucks.
