         DIGEST

         Protest challenging the evaluation of the awardee's proposal is denied where the
         record shows that the agency's evaluation was reasonable and in accordance with
         the stated evaluation criteria.
         DECISION

         Shearwater Systems LLC, of Manassas, Virginia, protests the award of a contract to
         BA-ZAI JV, of Rockville, Maryland, by the Department of Justice, Bureau of Alcohol,
         Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, under request for proposals (RFP) No. DJA-15-
         AHDQ-R-0044 for information technology (IT) and related support services.
         Shearwater argues that the agency improperly evaluated BA-ZAI's proposal.

         We deny the protest.
