handle is hein.gao/gaobadqhb0001 and id is 1 raw text is: G A O Comptroller General Accountability * Integrity * Reliability of the United States United States Government Accountability Office Washington, DC 20548 Decision Matter of: MindPoint Group, LLC File: B-409562 Date: May 8, 2014 Pamela J. Mazza, Esq., Kathryn V. Flood, Esq., Alexander 0. Levine, Esq., and Peter B. Ford, Esq., PilieroMazza PLLC, for the protester. William A. Roberts, III, Esq., Gary S. Ward, Esq., and Richard B. O'Keeffe, Jr., Esq., Wiley Rein LLP, for Management Technology, Inc., the intervenor. John R. Caterini, Esq., Kristen E. Bucher, Esq., and Barry C. Hansen, Esq., Department of Justice; Laura Mann Eyester, Esq., Small Business Administration, for the agencies. Kenneth Kilgour, Esq., and David A. Ashen, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Whenever an agency reasonably determines that an offeror's proposal has taken exception to a limitation on subcontracting requirement, that proposal is unacceptable and, where there is another acceptable offer, that offeror is not an interested party to challenge the award determination. DECISION MindPoint Group, LLC, of Springfield, Virginia, protests the Department of Justice's (DOJ) award of a contract to Management Technology, Inc. (MTI), of Oxon Hill, Maryland, under request for proposals (RFP) No. DJJI-13-RFP-0819, for information technology infrastructure support. MindPoint asserts that the agency improperly evaluated price, misevaluated the awardee's technical proposal, and failed to conduct a best-value trade-off. We dismiss the protest on the grounds that MindPoint is not an interested party to challenge MTI's award. The solicitation, set aside for economically-disadvantaged, women-owned small business (EDWOSB) concerns, sought proposals for the award of a fixed-price, time and materials, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity type contract, with a 1-year base period and four 1-year options. RFP at 1, 23, & 58. Award was to be made
