A protester may challenge an agency's decision not to provide the protester with a solicitation for a purchase under the Federal Supply Schedule, where this decision was based upon the agency's determination, pursuant to Federal Acquisition Regulation § 8.404(b)(3) (which applies to orders expected to exceed the maximum order threshold), that the protester did not appear to offer best value, as determined by the agency from market information obtained from schedule vendors and product demonstrations; GAO will review the reasonableness of the agency's determination. 2. Agency decision not to provide the protester with a solicitation for an acquisition of a unified financial management system under the Federal Supply Schedule program was reasonable, where, in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation § 8.404(b)(3), the agency reasonably determined that the protester did not appear to offer best value (price and other factors considered) when compared to schedule vendors that were provided with the solicitation. DECISION Savantage Financial Services, Inc. protests the decision of the Department of Justice (DOJ) not to provide the firm with request for quotations (RFQ) No. JUJMD-03-0240, which sought quotes from Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) vendors for software and services for a unified financial management system (UFMS).
