handle is hein.gao/gaobadvjb0001 and id is 1 raw text is: GAO U.S. GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABILITY OFFICE 441 G St. N.W. Comptroller General Washington, DC 20548 of the United States Decision Matter of: Northstate Heavy Equipment Rental File: B-416821 Date: December 19, 2018 Aaron Harvey for the protester. Azine Farzami, Esq., and Mark Garrett, Esq., Department of Agriculture, for the agency. Elizabeth Witwer, Esq., and Jennifer D. Westfall-McGrail, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest that the agency's discussions were misleading is denied where the discussions were sufficient to lead the protester into the areas of its quotation which required revision. DECISION Northstate Heavy Equipment Rental, a small business concern of Cottonwood, California, protests its failure to receive a blanket purchase agreement (BPA) for handwashing stations under request for quotations (RFQ) No. 129J6118Q7010 issued by the Department of Agriculture, United States Forest Service. The protester contends that the agency unfairly conducted negotiations.' We deny the protest. 1 No protective order was issued in this protest because Northstate elected to proceed with its protest pro se. A full version of the agency report was provided to our Office, while a redacted version of the report was furnished to the protester. We have reviewed the entire unredacted record in camera. Because much of the information reviewed by our Office is source selection sensitive and/or proprietary in nature, our discussion of some aspects of the evaluation is necessarily general in nature.
