Gallagher, Esq., Department of State, for the agency. Karly A. Newcomb, and Laura Eyester, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest challenging the agency's adherence to stated evaluation criteria and documentation in its award selection process is dismissed where our Office does not review protests of the award of cooperative agreements because they do not involve the award of a procurement contract, and are thus beyond our jurisdiction.

TSI alleges that the agency failed to adhere to the stated evaluation criteria in the NOFO, failed to provide an adequate document of record in the award selection process, and treated applicants unequally.

The deadline for applications was January 24, 2020. Id. TSI submitted its application on January 24. Protest at 1.
