Matter of: Deloitte & Touche LLP File: B-406563; B-406563.2 Date: June 27, 2012 David S. Cohen, Esq., John J. O'Brien, Esq., and Gabriel E. Kennon, Esq., Cohen Mohr LLP, for the protester. Alexander J. Brittin, Esq., Brittin Law Group LLP, and Jonathan D. Shaffer, Esq., and Mary Pat Buckenmeyer, Esq., Smith Pachter McWhorter PLC, for Grant Thornton LLC, the intervenor. Timothy Lorenzi, Esq., Department of Homeland Security, for the agency. Noah B. Bleicher, Esq., and Glenn G. Wolcott, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Agency evaluation of vendors' past performance is unobjectionable where agency reasonably concluded that awardee's highly relevant past performance was superior to protester's based on awardee's prior performance of more relevant contracts. 2. Agency evaluation of vendors' key personnel is unobjectionable where agency reasonably determined that awardee's proposed personnel met solicitation requirements. DECISION Deloitte & Touche LLP, of Arlington, Virginia, protests the award of a blanket purchase agreement (BPA) to Grant Thornton LLP (GT), of Alexandria, Virginia, under request for quotations (RFQ) No. HSHQEH-12-Q-00003, issued by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Federal Protective Service (FPS), for activity-based costing (ABC) modeling services and other financial services. Deloitte maintains that the agency's evaluation of quotations was flawed with regard to past performance and key personnel. We deny the protest.
