          DIGEST

          Protest of the agency's rejection of the protester's price quotation, as unacceptable,
          for the issuance of a blanket purchase agreement under a procurement conducted
          using the Federal Supply Schedule is denied, where protester's technical quotation
          identified subcontractors that the protester would use to perform tasks but failed to
          submit information required by the solicitation regarding subcontractor or teaming
          arrangements with those vendors.
          DECISION

          Mark G. Anderson Consultants, of Washington, D.C., protests the issuance of a
          blanket purchase agreement (BPA) to Fox RPM Corp., of Washington, D.C., under
          request for quotations (RFQ) No. SECHQ1-10-Q-0039, issued by the Securities and
          Exchange Commission  (SEC) for comprehensive furniture management services.

          We deny the protest.

          BACKGROUND

          The RFQ, issued on May 12, 2010, provided for the award of a fixed-price BPA for the
          purchase, delivery, installation, and warranty of furniture, furnishings, and
          equipment. Vendors were informed that the competition was being conducted under
          Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) subpart 8.4 and was limited to vendors holding
          Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) contracts under Schedule 7111 K, comprehensive
          furniture management services.
