DIGEST

1. Protest challenging the agency's evaluation of the awardee's past performance is
denied where the evaluation was reasonable and consistent with the solicitation.

2. Protest challenging agency's evaluation of protester's technical approach is denied
where the evaluation was reasonable and consistent with the stated evaluation criteria,
or did not prejudice the protester.

3. Protest challenging the agency's best-value tradeoff determination is denied where
the decision was reasonable, consistent with the stated evaluation criteria, and
adequately documented as to why awardee's proposal represented the overall best
value to the government.
DECISION

Special Applications Group (SAG), of Tampa, Florida, protests the award of a contract
to Oak Grove Technologies, LLC, of Alexandria, Virginia, under request for proposals
(RFP) No. DJF-1 8-2200-PR-000374, issued by the Department of Justice, Federal
Bureau of Investigation (FBI), for UH-60 pilot support services for the FBI's Critical
Incident Response Group (CIRG). SAG contends the agency's evaluation of offerors'
proposals and resulting award decision were improper.


We deny the protest.
