DIGEST

1. Protest alleging that the agency unreasonably eliminated the protester's quotation
from the competition for failing to have all necessary items on its Federal Supply
Schedule contract is denied where the agency's actions were reasonable and in
accordance with the solicitation.

2. Protest alleging that the agency's elimination of the protester's quotation from the
competition was the result of unequal treatment is denied where the protester fails to
demonstrate that the differences in the evaluation did not stem from differences
between  the vendors' quotations, or that the protester was prejudiced by the agency's
actions.
DECISION

Chapman   Freeborn Airchartering, Inc., of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, protests the rejection
of its quotation under request for quotations (RFQ) No. 70CDCR23Q00000004, issued
by the Department of Homeland  Security, United States Immigration and Customs

rejection of its quotation was unreasonable and based upon unequal treatment.


We  deny the protest.
