File: B-291191 Date: November 15, 2002 Maurice E. Wilber for the protester. Michael Colvin, Department of Health and Human Services, for the agency. Susan K. McAuliffe, Esq., and Christine S. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest of agency's evaluation of protester's quotation as technically unacceptable is denied where record shows that evaluation was reasonable and consistent with solicitation evaluation criteria. DECISION Applied Management Solutions, Inc. protests the rejection of its quotation as technically unacceptable under request for quotations (RFQ) No. 233-02-0064, issued by the Department of Health and Human Services for the provision of support services to disaster medical response teams. Applied contends that the agency unreasonably determined that its quotation failed to demonstrate the firm's understanding of the RFQ's required scope of work and related level of effort. We deny the protest. The RFQ, issued on June 19, 2002, contemplated the issuance of a delivery order under the General Services Administration Federal Supply Schedule for Management, Organizational and Business Improvement Services, for the provision of certain support services to 66 National Disaster Medical System (NDMS) response teams. The NDMS, which manages the largely volunteer-based disaster response program, administers response team agreements, develops program goals, and provides team funding. The response teams themselves have their own administrative responsibilities concerning, for instance, using team funds, providing technical support for team development, procuring approved equipment, training of team members, and reporting team expenditures.
