Kunamneni for the protester. Mike Colvin, Department of Health & Human Services, for the agency. Peter D. Verchinski and James A. Spangenberg, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest of agency's evaluation of protester's quotation is denied where the record shows that evaluation was reasonable and consistent with solicitation evaluation criteria. DECISION HpkWebDac protests the issuance of a purchase order to Apex Logic, Inc. under request for quotations (RFQ) CC263-02-Q-LL-0582, issued by the National Institutes of Health, Department of Health and Human Services, for a web-based database to collect and manage evaluations. HpkWebDac alleges the debriefing letter it received was inadequate and that the agency did not properly evaluate its quotation. We deny the protest. The RFQ set forth two technical evaluation factors: understanding the requirement and proposed technical approach and past performance (worth 40 percent of the evaluation weight) and industry knowledge (20 percent). The RFQ stated, with regard to the first technical evaluation factor, that the offeror shall demonstrate its understanding of the Government's requirements through a detailed description of its proposed approach (including timelines and relevant milestones). Price represented 40 percent of the evaluation weight. RFQ, Evaluation Criteria: Best Value Award.
