William D. Robinson, Esq., Bureau of Prisons, for the agency. Cherie J. Owen, Esq., and Sharon L. Larkin, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest alleging that awardee's quotation failed to comply with the applicable limitations on subcontracting is denied where protester fails to identify anything on the face of awardee's quotation that should have led the agency to the conclusion that the awardee did not agree to comply with the relevant subcontracting limitation. DECISION KAES Enterprises, LLC, of Puyallup, Washington, protests the decision to place an order with Energy Pro OSC, LLC, of West Columbia, South Carolina under request for quotations (RFQ) No. RFQP05001300002, issued by the Department of Justice, Bureau of Prisons, for emergency generator maintenance. KAES Enterprises argues that Energy Pro's quotation should have been rejected for failure to comply with the limitation on subcontracting set forth at Federal Acquisition Regulation § 52.219-14. We deny the protest. BACKGROUND The Department of Justice issued the RFQ on February 13, 2013, as a small business set-aside, and contemplated award of a fixed unit-price, indefinite-delivery requirements contract for a 1-year base period and four 1-year options. Because the solicitation was set aside for small businesses, it incorporated the limitations on subcontracting contained in FAR § 52.219-14. RFQ at 16.
