Matter of: Avaya Government Solutions, Inc. File: B-410387 Date: December 15, 2014 J. Dale Gipson, Esq., Tracy A. Marion, Esq., and Corey W. Jenkins, Esq., Lanier Ford Shaver & Payne PC, for the protester. Karen R. Harbaugh, Esq., and Robert E. Gregg, Esq., Squire Patton Boggs-US, LLP, for Pragmatics, the intervenor. Robert J. McMullen, Esq., Department of the Navy, for the agency. Eric M. Ransom, Esq., and Edward Goldstein, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest that agency introduced unstated evaluation criteria is denied where agency's evaluation was reasonable and consistent with the terms of the solicitation. DECISION Avaya Government Solutions, Inc., of Fairfax, Virginia, protests the award of a contract to Pragmatics, Inc., of Reston, Virginia, under solicitation No. N00189-14- R-ZO1 7, issued by the Department of the Navy for litigation support services concerning the Navy Claims Defense of the Iranian Foreign Military Sales Program. Avaya alleges that the agency introduced unstated criteria in its evaluation of Avaya's proposal. We deny the protest. BACKGROUND The Navy issued the solicitation on January 23, 2014, in order to award a fixed- price contract for litigation support services for one base-year and six one-year option periods. The solicitation is a follow-on to an ongoing contract for which Avaya, the protester, is the incumbent. Pragmatics, the awardee, is an Avaya subcontractor under the incumbent effort.
