DIGEST Protest that agency's evaluation and source selection decision were flawed is denied where record shows that the agency's evaluation and source selection were reasonable and consistent with the solicitation's evaluation factors.

Armacel primarily objects to the agency's evaluation of proposals and the source selection decision. We deny the protest. The RFP was issued June 8, 2007 as a small business set-aside and contemplated the award of a fixed-price, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (ID/IQ) contract for a base year and two 1-year option periods. Award was to be made on a best value basis, considering price and four non-price evaluation factors, which the RFP identified as: product demonstration model(s), past performance/experience, surge 'The ESBI is worn by ground troops and provides enhanced ballistic protection from specific ammunition rounds.
