         Matter of:   NOVA Corporation

         File:        B-411851

         Date:        November 6, 2015

         James Y. Boland, Esq., William L. Walsh, Jr., Esq., and Nathaniel S. Canfield, Esq.,
         Venable LLP, for the protester.
         Robert J. Symon, Esq., and Lisa A. Markman, Esq., Bradley Arant Boult Cummings,
         LLP, for Chameleon Integrated Services, the intervenor.
         Sarah L. Carroll, Esq., Defense Information Systems Agency, for the agency.
         Peter D. Verchinski, Esq., and Nora K. Adkins, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
         GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
         DIGEST

         Agency reasonably rejected protester's proposal where the proposal failed to
         provide information required by the solicitation.
         DECISION

         NOVA Corporation, of Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, protests the rejection of its
         proposal, and award of a contract to Chameleon Integrated Services, of St. Louis,
         Missouri, under request for proposals (RFP) No. 00013, issued by the Defense
         Information Systems Agency (DISA), Defense Information Technology Contracting
         Organization (DITCO), for support services for the agency's global service desk.
         The protester argues that the agency improperly determined that its proposal was
         non-responsive based on its failure to submit a Department of Defense Contract
         Security Classification Specification form (DD Form 254).

         We deny the protest.

         BACKGROUND

         The RFP, issued on May 13, 2015, contemplated the issuance of a task order with
         fixed-price and cost-reimbursable elements for a 1-year base period and three
         1-year option periods. The RFP limited competition to the four Small Business
         Administration section 8(a) firms holding a DISA Information Technology Enterprise
         Support Services (DESS) indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (ID/IQ) contract.
