DECISION General Dynamics Information Technology, Inc. (GDIT), of Fairfax, Virginia, protests the National Archives and Records Administration's (NARA) issuance of a task order to IBM Corporation, of Bethesda, Maryland, to provide operations and maintenance support for NARA's electronic records archive (ERA) under request for quotations (RFQ) No. NAMA-11-Q-0012. GDIT contends that the agency conducted a flawed source selection and improperly selected IBM on the basis of a quotation that was ineligible for selection. We deny the protest.
