M&N Aviation, Inc. (M&N), of San Juan, Puerto Rico, protests the award of a contract to Tradewind Aviation, LLC, of Oxford, Connecticut, by the Department of Justice, U.S. Marshals Service (USMS), under request for quotations (RFQ) No. DJM-13-A37-Q-0008 for air charter services in support of the agency's Justice Prisoner and Alien Transportation System (JPATS). M&N argues that the agency made award based on lowest price, rather than based on best value, as required by the solicitation. M&N asserts that had the agency conducted a proper price/technical tradeoff, it would have received award of the contract, and not Tradewind.We deny the protest.
