DIGEST

1. Agency  reasonably assessed a rating of low confidence to protester's proposal

2. Agency's methodology  in evaluating proposals and identifying the most highly rated
offerors was reasonable and consistent with the provisions of the solicitation.

AttainX Think Tank LLC, of Herndon, Virginia, protests the evaluation of its proposal by
the Department of Commerce,  National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
(NOAA),  pursuant to request for proposals (RFP) No. 1305M4-22-RNEEA-0001, to
provide a wide assortment of professional, technical and scientific services. See

AttainX primarily challenges the agency's assessment of a low confidence rating under
the most important evaluation factor, relevant technical experience.

We  deny the protest.
