This version has been approved for public release. Decision Matter of: Consummate Computer Consultants Systems, LLC File: B-410566.2 Date: June 8, 2015 Gregory S. Jacobs, Esq., Erin L. Felix, Esq., and Grace 0. Aduroja, Esq., Polsinelli PC, for the protester. Kasey Podzius, Esq., and Julie Cannatti, Esq., Department of Housing and Urban Development, for the agency. K. Nicole Willems, Esq., and Jennifer Westfall-McGrail, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest of agency's technical evaluation in a lowest-price, technically-acceptable procurement is denied where the record demonstrates that the agency's evaluation was reasonable and consistent with the terms of the solicitation. DECISION Consummate Computer Consultants Systems, LLC (Consummate), a small business located in Washington, DC, protests the issuance of a task order to Cloud Nine Technologies, Inc. (Cloud Nine), of Herndon, VA, under request for quotations (RFQ) No. DU100F-14-R-0001, issued by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), for information technology (IT) services.1 Consummate challenges HUD's finding that its quote was technically unacceptable. We deny the protest. BACKGROUND 1 While the cover page (SF 33) identified the solicitation as an RFP (i.e., request for proposals), and the document included multiple references to proposals and offerors, the agency reports that it was a request for quotations. In keeping with the agency's characterization, we refer to the solicitation as an RFQ in this decision. The distinction between an RFP and an RFQ has no bearing on our analysis of the issues presented.
