Matter of: JRS Management
File: B-405361; B-405361.2; B-405361.3
Date: October 3, 2011
Jacqueline Sims, JRS Management, for the protester.
William D. Robinson, Esq., Department of Justice, Bureau of Prisons, for the agency.
Linda C. Glass, Esq., and Sharon L. Larkin, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO,
participated in the preparation of the decision.
DIGEST
Agency reasonably determined protester's quotation was technically unacceptable
where quotation failed to comply with requirement of the solicitation to provide
supporting documentation evidencing instructor's qualifications and experience and,
further, protester failed to provide this information when repeatedly requested by
the agency.
DECISION
JRS Management of Lawrenceville, California, protests the Federal Bureau of
Prisons' (BOP) determination that the firm's quotation in response to request for
quotations (RFQ) No. P03091100011 was technically unacceptable.
We deny the protest.
The BOP issued the RFQ to provide the services of a computer aided drafting
vocational trades instructor at the Federal Correctional Institution in Miami,
Florida.' The RFQ required that the vendor's instructor candidate possess the
following experience and qualifications:
'The RFQ, issued as a small business set-aside, provided that award would be made
to contractor whose quote, conforming to the solicitation, represents the lowest
price to the Government, in accordance with FAR [Federal Acquisition Regulation]
52.212-1(g). FAR § 52.212-1(g) provides that the government intends to make award
without discussions.](ViewImageLocal?handle=hein.gao/gaobadogf0001&div=1&collection=&method=preview&ext=.png&size=3)
