DIGEST

1. Protest challenging agency's evaluation of proposals is denied where the record
shows that the agency's evaluation was reasonable and consistent with the terms of the
solicitation.

2. Protest that the agency engaged in unequal treatment is denied, where the
differences in the evaluation and ratings stemmed from actual differences between the
offerors' proposals.
DECISION

InterOps, LLC, a small business of Ashburn, Virginia, protests the award of a contract to
Synergy Business Innovation & Solutions, Inc. (Synergy), a small business of Arlington,
Virginia, under request for proposals (RFP) No. HSCGG3-18-R-PWX700 issued by the
United States Coast Guard for software engineering and operations and maintenance
(O&M) services for the agency's Command, Control, Communications, Computers, and
Information Technology Service Center. The protester contends that the agency's
evaluation of proposals diverged from the stated criteria and that the agency treated
offerors disparately.


We deny the protest.
