DIGEST

Agency's selection of a lower-rated, lower-priced quotation for award is unobjectionable
where the agency's tradeoff decision was reasonable and adequately documented.
DECISION

Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC), of Reston, Virginia protests the
issuance of a task order to CACI, Inc.-Federal, of Chantilly, Virginia, under task order
request (TORFP) No. ID07180010, issued by the General Services Administration
(GSA) on behalf of the Army Research Development and Engineering Command,
Communications-Electronics, Research, Development and Engineering Center,
Intelligence and Information Warfare Directorate, for system innovation and engineering
support. SAIC challenges the agency's evaluation and selection decision.

We deny the protest.
