DIGEST
1. Protest that source selection authority (SSA) failed to consider benefits of protester's
proposal is denied where the record demonstrates that the SSA considered these
features and reasonably concluded that the awardee's proposal was technically
superior.
2. Protest that agency did not evaluate the quality of performance of offerors' past
experience examples is denied where the solicitation did not require such an evaluation.
3. Protest that agency incorrectly compared the experience of offerors' proposed key
personnel is denied where, although the agency erred in its evaluation, the protester
cannot demonstrate prejudice from the error.
DECISION
Verizon Business Network Services LLC, of Ashburn, Virginia, protests the issuance of
a task order to AT&T Corp., of Oakton, Virginia, under task order request for
proposals (TORP) No. 70TO3021 R7667N003, issued by the Department of Homeland
Security, Transportation Security Administration (TSA), for telecommunications network
services. The protester alleges that the agency unreasonably evaluated offerors'
proposals under the non-price evaluation factors.

We deny the protest.
