DIGEST 1.  Protest that agency improperly failed to amend the solicitation to reflect the agency’s true needs at the time of award is denied where the agency states that it will not use the current task order for the new work tasked to the agency after receipt of proposals, and there is no indication in the record that this new work, which the protester acknowledges is separate from that being solicited under the solicitation, caused a material change to any of the requirements in the solicitation. 2.  Protest challenging agency’s evaluation of proposals and source selection decision is denied where the record shows that the agency’s evaluation and selection decision were reasonable and consistent with the terms of the solicitation. DECISION Sigmatech, Inc., of Huntsville, Alabama, protests the issuance of a task order to COLSA Corporation, also of Huntsville, Alabama, pursuant to task order requirement package (TORP) No. 18-009, issued by the Department of the Army, Army Materiel Command, to provide support services to the Missile Defense and Space Systems (MDSS) project office (PO).  Sigmatech, the incumbent contractor for the services at issue, argues that the Army improperly failed to amend the solicitation to reflect the agency’s true needs at the time of award.  The protester also contends that the agency erred in its evaluation of proposals and best-value tradeoff decision. We deny the protest. BACKGROUND On December 12, 2018, the Army issued the TORP to vendors holding General Services Administration’s (GSA) One Acquisition Solution for Integrated Services (OASIS) small business 5B multiple-award indefinite‑delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts, solicited under the system engineering and technical assistance support (SETAS) program.  The procurement was conducted pursuant to Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) subpart 16.5.  The solicitation contemplated the issuance of a cost-plus-fixed-fee, level-of-effort task order for a base period of 36 months, and two 1-year options.  TORP at 3. The TORP provided for award on a best-value tradeoff basis, considering cost and the following two non-cost evaluation factors, in descending order of importance:  task execution and qualifications & experience.  TORP at 15.  In addition, the solicitation provided for evaluation of a third non-cost factor--organizational conflict of interest (OCI) identification/mitigation--on a go/no-go basis.
