DECISION

FedWriters, Inc., an 8(a) small business of Fairfax, Virginia, protests the award of an
indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract and issuance of an initial task order
to Kaiva Strategies, LLC under request for proposals (RFP) No. 75F40123R00069,
issued by the Department of Health and Human Services, Food and Drug
Administration (FDA), for professional, administrative, and consulting services (PACS).
The protester contends that the agency unreasonably evaluated proposals, which
resulted in an improper best-value tradeoff decision.


We  deny the protest.
