Matter of:   Wyle Laboratories, Inc.

File:        B-416528

Date:        September 7, 2018

Alexander J. Brittin, Esq., Brittin Law Group, PLLC, for the protester.
Carl J. Vernetti, Esq., and Sarah Park, Esq, Department of Homeland Security, for the
agency.
Heather Weiner, Esq., and Jennifer D. Westfall-McGrail, Esq., Office of the General
Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
DIGEST

Protester fails to demonstrate a direct economic interest in the procurement and thus is
not an interested party under our Bid Protest Regulations eligible to challenge the terms
of the request for quotations where the protester acknowledges that it does not intend to
perform any of the work required under the solicitation, and where the record reflects
that the protester submitted a quotation and a protest on behalf of another company
solely to satisfy its contractual obligations to that company under a third-party
agreement.
DECISION

Wyle Laboratories, Inc., of Huntsville, Alabama, challenges the terms of request for
quotations (RFQ) No. 01 C18Q01 06, issued by the Department of Homeland Security
(DHS), U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), for professional, technical, and
operational support services, in support of DHS's Office of Facilities and Asset
Management. The protester alleges that the solicitation is unduly restrictive of
competition because it limits the submission of past performance information to
information submitted for the prime contractor.

We dismiss the protest because the protester is not an interested party.

BACKGROUND

The CBP issued the RFQ on June 4, 2018. The competition is limited to firms holding
one of the General Services Administration's (GSA) One Acquisition Solution for
Integrated Services (OASIS) unrestricted pool 1, multiple-award indefinite-delivery,
