Acquisition Services Corporation, LLC (ASC), of Huntsville, Alabama, protests the issuance of a task order to Quantech Services, Inc. (Quantech), also of Huntsville, under request for task order proposals (RTOP) DA-01-13 (DA-01), issued by the Department of Defense, Missile Defense Agency (MDA), to holders of multiple award indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity, small business set-aside contracts for advisory and assistance services, administered by the MDA Engineering and Support Services Program Office (MiDAESS), for acquisition and program management support. The protester argues that MDA's evaluation of Quantech's and ASC's technical proposals was unreasonable and inconsistent with the evaluation criteria in the RTOP; the evaluation of Quantech's price proposal was fatally flawed because it grossly overstated the potential savings from Quantech's supposed synergies; Quantech should have been excluded because of an organizational conflict of interest (OCI); and MDA effectively treated the subject procurement as if it were a lowest-cost/technically acceptable acquisition, instead of a best value procurement.
We deny the protest.
