Joseph P. Hornyak, Esq., and Megan Mocho Jeschke, Esq., Holland & Knight LLP,
for the protester.
Sherry Kinland Kaswell, Esq., Department of the Interior, for the agency.
Young S. Lee, Esq., and Nora K. Adkins, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO,
participated in the preparation of the decision.
DIGEST

1. Protest challenging agency's evaluation of protester's quotation and its exclusion
from the competition is denied where the record shows that the evaluation was
reasonable and consistent with the solicitation's evaluation criteria.

2. Protest alleging that agency conducted unequal clarifications is denied where the
record shows that agency was not required to request clarifications from protester.
DECISION

Technatomy Corporation, a small business, of Fairfax, Virginia, protests its
exclusion from the competition under request for quotations (RFQ) No.
D1 5PS001 60, issued by the Department of the Interior, for program support
services. The protester argues that the agency unreasonably evaluated aspects of
its quotation and treated vendors unequally.

We deny the protest.

BACKGROUND

The Department of the Interior, on behalf of the Department of Defense (DoD),
issued the RFQ on March 5, 2015, under the provisions of Federal Acquisition
Regulation (FAR) subpart 16.5, to existing small business holders of the National
Institutes of Health, Information Technology Acquisition and Assessment Center
