File: B-405681 Date: December 9, 2011 Sonny Kakar and Angela D. Leno, Sevatec, Inc., for the protester. Rand L. Allen, Esq., Kara M. Sacilotto, Esq., Brian G. Walsh, Esq., and Tracye Winfrey Howard, Esq., Wiley Rein LLP, for Booz Allen Hamilton, Inc., an intervenor. Herman J. Narcho, Esq., Department of Labor, for the agency. Paul N.

DECISION Sevatec, Inc., of Falls Church, Virginia, a small business, protests the issuance of a Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) blanket purchase agreement (BPA) to Booz Allen Hamilton, Inc. (BAH), of McLean, Virginia, by the Department of Labor (DoL) under request for quotations (RFQ) No. DOLl 11 RQ21285 for information technology support services.

Accordingly, our discussion is necessarily general in some respects to avoid disclosure of nonpublic proprietary information. (continued...)
