DIGEST

instructions is denied where agency reasonably determined that proposal complied with
page limitation and font size requirements, and awardee was not given an unfair
competitive advantage by using noncompliant font size for headings.
2. Protests challenging agency's evaluation of proposals are denied where record
reflects evaluation was reasonable and consistent with solicitation's evaluation criteria.
DECISION

of Chesapeake, Virginia, protests the award of a contract to Patriot Group International,
Inc. (PGI), a small business of Warrenton, Virginia, under request for proposals (RFP)
No. 2021-20111000001S, issued by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) for tactical
and non-tactical medical support. The protester contends that the agency unreasonably
evaluated proposals and made an unreasonable best-value tradeoff decision.
