          DIGEST

          Protest of the evaluation of management proposals is denied where the evaluation
          was reasonable and consistent with the terms of the solicitation.
          DECISION

          Evolving Resources, Inc. (ERI) protests the award of a contract to Synectic Solutions
          under request for proposals (RFP) No. N00421-00-R-0328, issued by the Department
          of the Navy, Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), for maintenance planning and
          design interface logistics support services. ERI challenges the agency's evaluation of
          the offerors' management proposals.

          We deny the protest.

          The RFP, issued on February 2, 2000, contemplated the award of a cost-plus-award-
          fee contract for a base period and nine 1-year option periods for each of five lots,
          each lot serving different regional locations. This protest involves the award of lot II,
          set aside for Section 8(a) business concerns,' covering the regional location at the


          1 Section 8(a) of the Small Business Act, 15 U.S.C. §637(a) (1994), authorizes the
          Small Business Administration to enter into contracts with government agencies and
          to arrange for the performance of such contracts by letting subcontracts to socially
          and economically disadvantaged small business concerns.
