         DIGEST

         Protest challenging the agency's evaluation of the protester's and awardee's
         technical proposals is denied where the evaluation was reasonable and consistent
         with the stated evaluation criteria, and reflected equal treatment of the vendors.

         CliftonLarsonAllen, LLP (CLA), of Calverton, Maryland, protests the issuance of a
         task order by the Department of the Interior (DOI), Acquisition Services Directorate,

         (RFQ) No. D1 6PS00035 for financial statement and performance audit services for
         the National Science Foundation (NSF), Office of Inspector General (OIG). CLA
