DIGEST
1. Protest that agency unreasonably failed to assign multiple strengths to protester's
proposal is denied where protester fails to demonstrate that agency's evaluation was
unreasonable or inconsistent with the terms of the solicitation. Protest challenging the
agency's evaluation of the awardee's proposal is denied where the evaluation was
reasonable and in accordance with the terms of the solicitation.
2. Protest challenging agency's selection of a higher technically rated proposal at a
higher price is denied where agency reasonably evaluated offerors' proposals and
identified a discriminator to justify selection of the higher-priced proposal.
DECISION
Bluehawk, LLC, a small business located in West Palm Beach, Florida, protests the
issuance of a task order to Global Dimensions, LLC (GLD), a small business located in
Fredericksburg, Virginia, by the Department of the Army under request for task order
proposals (RFTOP) No. W911W4-22-R-OMC2, to acquire foreign language linguist
support services. Bluehawk challenges the agency's evaluation of proposals, and the
agency's best-value tradeoff and selection decision.

We deny the protest.
