(CACI), of Chantilly, Virginia, by the Department of the Army under request for task order proposals (RTOP) No. W911W4-18-R-ER02, for global intelligence logistics support. DynCorp alleges that the award was improper because CACI Technologies, Inc., was not the offering entity, no entity by that name exists, and therefore the awardee failed to comply with the requirement to maintain an accurate registration in the System for Award Management (SAM) at the time of proposal submission. DynCorp also challenges various aspects of the agency's evaluation of proposals and source selection decision. We deny the protest.
