Accountability * Integrity * Reliability of the United States United States Government Accountability Office DOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE Washington, DC 20548 The decision issued on the date below was subject to a GAO Protective Order. This redacted version has been approved for public release. Decision Matter of: Computer Literacy World, Inc. File: B-299744; B-299744.4 Date: August 6, 2007 Michael A. Gordon, Esq., and Fran Baskin, Esq., Holmes & Gordon, for the protester. Daniel R. Forman, Esq., Christopher Gagne, Esq., and John E. McCarthy, Jr., Esq., Crowell & Moring LLP, for Electronic Data Systems, Inc., and John S. Pachter, Esq., Jonathan D. Shaffer, Esq., and Mary Pat Gregory, Esq., Smith Pachter McWhorter PLC, for XTec, Inc., intervenors. Carmody A. Gaba, Esq., Micul E. Thompson, Esq., and Kevin J. Rice, Esq., for the agency. Edward Goldstein, Esq., and Christine S. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protester's interpretation of solicitation issued under the Federal Supply Schedule program for a contractor managed end-to-end solution meeting government-wide federal identification card requirements as requiring all products and services within a vendor's end-to-end solution to be listed on the agency's Approved Products List (APL) at the time technical submissions were due is unreasonable where the agency, in answer to a question regarding when items within a vendor's end-to-end solution had to be on the APL, indicated that they had to be on the APL by Milestone 1 during contract performance. DECISION Computer Literacy World, Inc. (CLW) protests the issuance of a task order to Electronic Data Systems, Inc. (EDS) under request for quotations (RFQ) No. TQ-PLB07-0002, issued by the General Services Administration (GSA) to vendors under its Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) program, to provide contractor-managed services for an end-to-end solution meeting government-wide federal identification card requirements. CLW argues that EDS was not eligible for an order because its solution did not meet mandatory solicitation requirements and that GSA improperly evaluated its own solution under the RFQ's technical criteria. We deny the protest.
