DIGEST

1. Protest challenging the agency's evaluation of vendors' professional employee
compensation  plans is denied where the record demonstrates that the agency's
evaluation was reasonable, consistent with the solicitation, and in accordance with
Federal Acquisition Regulation provision 52.222-46.

2. Protest challenging the agency's best-value determination is denied where the
agency reasonably concluded  that the protester's slightly better technical quotation did
not warrant a significantly higher price premium, and therefore reasonably made award
to the lower-priced vendor.
DECISION

DPRA,  Inc., a small business of Knoxville, Tennessee, protests the issuance of a task
order to Netrist Solutions, LLC, of Charleston, South Carolina, under request for
quotations (RFQ) No. FA8730-23-Q-B004,  issued by the Department of the Air Force
for consolidated air mobility planning system (CAMPS) sustainment, operations and
maintenance  services. The protester challenges the agency's evaluation of quotations
and the resulting award decision.


We  deny the protest.
