handle is hein.gao/gaobaecda0001 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: INTELITEAMS, Inc. File: B-418123.4 Date: December 9, 2020 Jerry Mannes, for the protester. Damien C. Specht, Esq., Rachel K. Plymale, Esq., and Caitlin A. Crujido, Esq., Morrison & Foerster, LLP, for IntelliWare Systems, Inc., the intervenor. Michael P. Giordano, Esq., and Kelli Beene, Esq., Department of Justice, for the agency. Heather Self, Esq., and Peter H. Tran, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest challenging numerous aspects of agency's evaluation of the protester's technical and past performance information is denied because the evaluation was reasonable and consistent with the solicitation. 2. Protest challenging agency's selection of a higher-rated, higher-priced quotation for award is unobjectionable because the agency's tradeoff decision was reasonable and consistent with the solicitation. DECISION INTELiTEAMS, Inc., a historically underutilized business zone service-disabled veteran-owned small business of Holland, Michigan, protests the issuance of an order to IntelliWare Systems, Inc., of Fredricksburg, Virginia, under request for quotations (RFQ) No. DJF-19-0010-PR-0001277, issued by the Department of Justice, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), for administrative and program support staff. The protester challenges virtually every aspect of the agency's evaluation of its quotation, and argues that the agency's evaluation and source selection process unfairly favored the incumbent contractor. The protester also argues that the evaluation resulted in a determination of nonresponsibility, which the agency was required to refer to the Small Business Administration (SBA) under its certificate of competency (COC) program. The protester further contends that, contrary to the solicitation, the agency did not perform any price evaluation or conduct a best-value tradeoff.
