          File:        B-403967.2

          Date:        August 3, 2011

          Nicholas B. Carter, Esq., for the protester.
          James  H. Roberts III, Esq., Van Scoyoc Kelly & Roberts, for Phoenix Bird Control
          Services, an intervenor.

          Frank Maguire, Esq., and Scott H. Riback, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO,
          participated in the preparation of the decision.
          DIGEST

          Protest is denied where agency found protester's quotation technically unacceptable
          for failure to address explicit solicitation requirement for information regarding use
          of hazardous materials and GAO review confirms that protester's quotation did not
          include the required information.
          DECISION

          Birdstrike Control Program (BCP), of Willis, Texas, protests the issuance of a
          purchase order to Phoenix Bird Control Services (PBCS), of Suffolk, England, by the
          Department  of the Air Force under request for quotations (RFQ) No. FA5587-10-T-
          0009 for wildlife control services at RAF (Royal Air Force) Lakenheath and RAF
          Mildenhall, United Kingdom (UK). BCP asserts that the agency misevaluated its
          quotation.

          We  deny the protest.

          BACKGROUND

          Officer's (CO) Statement, at 2. Award was to be made on a lowest-priced, technically
