handle is hein.gao/gaomol0001 and id is 1 raw text is: 1Oo_ U.S. GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABILITY OFFICE A Century of Non-Partisan Fact-Based Work 441 G St. N.W. Comptroller General Washington, DC 20548 of the United States Decision Matter of: Allosense, Inc. File: B-420201 Date: December 27, 2021 Roman Sandoval for the protester. Colonel Frank Yoon, Major Thomas F. Pfeifer, Major Brian M. Shust, and Robert E. Beyler, Esq., Department of the Air Force, for the agency. Christopher Alwood, Esq., and Christina Sklarew, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest challenging agency's decision not to meet its requirement through the award of a sole-source small business innovation research (SBIR) phase III award is dismissed as untimely where the protester did not protest the terms of the request for quotations that sought to meet the requirement on a competitive basis outside the SBIR program until after the closing date for receipt of quotations. 2. Protest challenging the agency's decision not to consider a vendor's quotation is dismissed for lack of interested-party status where the protester's quotation, even if it were considered by the agency, would not be next in line for award, given the solicitation's lowest price, technically acceptable basis for award. DECISION Allosense, Inc., a small business of San Antonio, Texas, protests the award of a contract to Apptricity Corporation, a small business of Irving, Texas, under request for quotations (RFQ) No. F1 M2X51194A001, issued by the Department of the Air Force, 628th Contracting Squadron for a telematics tracking system for the tracking of aerospace ground equipment. The protester contends that the agency should have met its requirement through a small business innovation research (SBIR) phase III sole- source contract or, alternatively, should have considered Allosense's quotation requesting an SBIR phase III award on a sole-source basis for award under the RFQ. We dismiss the protest.
