DECISION
Agile-Bot II, LLC, a small business joint venture, of Reston, Virginia, protests the
issuance of a task order to SecuriGence LLC, a small business, of Leesburg, Virginia,
under request for quotations (RFQ) No. HRO01120Q0002, issued by the Department of
Defense (DOD), Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), for
multi-network support services. The protester contends that the agency unreasonably
and unequally evaluated quotations. The protester also argues that the agency's price
realism analysis with regard to the awardee's quotation was unreasonable.

We deny the protest.
