File: B-410581; B-410581.2 Date: January 14, 2015 James J. McCullough, Esq., and Samuel W. Jack, Esq., Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson LLP, for the protester. Michael J. Gardner, Esq., and Shomari B. Wade, Esq., Troutman Sanders LLP, for ICI Services, Corp., the intervenor. David B. Mercier, Esq., Department of the Navy, and Laura Eyester, Esq., Small Business Administration, for the agencies. Pedro E. Briones, Esq., and Nora K. Adkins, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Where a competitive request for task order proposals issued under a long-term multiple-award indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contract limits competition to small business concerns, procuring agency may properly make award to a business that was certified as a small business at the time that it submitted its proposal in response to the task order competition, even if the business is no longer considered small by the time of award. 2. Protest challenging agency's cost and technical evaluations and best-value tradeoff determination is denied where the record demonstrates that the agency's evaluations and tradeoff decision were reasonable and in accordance with the terms of the solicitation. DECISION Research and Development Solutions, Inc. (RDSI), of McLean, Virginia, protests the issuance of a task order to ICI Services, Corp. (ICI), of Virginia Beach, Virginia, under task order request for proposals (RFP) No. N00024-13-R-3331, issued by the Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division Newport, Department of the Navy, for technical and engineering services. The protester contends that ICI is not eligible for award based on its size status. RDSI also contends that the agency's evaluation of technical and cost proposals, as well as its best value determination, was unreasonable and not consistent with the solicitation.
