File: B-409710 Date: July 17, 2014 Leny Chertov, for the protester. Lauren Didiuk, Esq., and John L. Guinan Jr., Esq., Department of Commerce, for the agency. Paul N. Wengert, Esq., and Tania Calhoun, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest that agency misevaluated proposal as unacceptable is denied where agency evaluation was reasonable and consistent with evaluation criteria and, to the extent specifications were ambiguous, protester failed to protest patent ambiguities before due date for receipt of proposals, making its objections untimely. DECISION Potomac Electric Corp., of Boston, Massachusetts, a small business, protests the rejection of its proposal by the Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), under request for proposals (RFP) No. RA-133W-14-RP-0018 for direct current servo-amplifiers. Potomac argues that NOAA improperly rejected the firm's proposal.' We deny the protest. BACKGROUND NOAA issued the RFP on January 21, 2014, seeking proposals for servo-amplifiers (SA) to replace the legacy SA. The RFP invited vendors to submit commercial item 1 Potomac also alleges that NOAA intends to award a contract to Hitachi Ltd. The record reflects neither the selection of a contractor nor the award of a contract. As a result, this decision only addresses the evaluation of Potomac Electric's proposal.
