           DIGEST

           Protest challenging agency's decision not to consider vendor's quotation is denied
           where the quotation was not timely received by the agency in a manner consistent
           with the terms of the solicitation.
           DECISION

           Team Housing Solutions, a woman-owned small business of New Braunfels, TX,
           protests the General Services Administration's (GSA) decision not to consider its
           quotation pursuant to request for quotations (RFQ) No. 04160045, issued by GSA
           for long-term lodging services. Team Housing disputes GSA's determination that
           Team Housing's quotation was late because its quotation was not submitted to the
           online portal identified in the solicitation.

           We deny the protest.

           BACKGROUND

           GSA issued the RFQ via the GSA e-Buy system on August 29, 2016, under the
           procedures of Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) subpart 8.4, to vendors holding
           contracts under GSA Federal Supply Schedule No. 48, Transportation, Delivery,
           and Relocation Solutions. Contracting Officer's (CO) Statement at 2-3. The RFQ
           anticipated the issuance of a task order for long-term lodging services. Id.
