Matter of: DKW Communications, Inc. File: B-412652.3; B-412652.6 Date: May 2, 2016 Joseph P. Hornyak, Esq., Elizabeth N. Jochum, Esq., and Gregory R. Hallmark, Esq., Holland & Knight LLP, for the protester. Edward J. Tolchin, Esq., Offit Kurman P.A., for Criterion Systems, Inc., an intervenor. JiSan A. Lopez, Esq., Department of Energy, for the agency. Gary R. Allen, Esq., and Christina Sklarew, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protests challenging agency's evaluations of successful vendor's quotations are sustained where record shows that vendor's quotations failed to comply with certain material solicitation requirements. DECISION DKW Communications, Inc., of Washington, D.C., protests the issuance of three fixed-price task orders (Performance Work Statement (PWS) #1, PWS #2, and PWS #3) to Criterion Systems, Inc., of Vienna, Virginia, by the Department of Energy, National Nuclear Security Agency (NNSA), under request for quotations (RFQ) No. DE-SOL-0008812, for cyber security support services (PWS #1), information technology support services (PWS #2), and policy and governance services (PWS #3). The protester challenges the three task orders issued to Criterion on the basis that Criterion's quotations violated the RFQ's formatting requirements, and thereby exceeded the RFQ's page limitations for technical quotations. DKW also makes various additional assertions concerning the agency's evaluation of the technical proposals and its source selection decision. We sustain the protests in part and deny them in part.
