         Matter of:   Bart & Associates, Inc.

         File:        B-414234, B-414234.2

         Date:        February 24, 2017

         David S. Cohen, Esq., John J. O'Brien, Esq., Daniel Strouse, Esq., and Amy J.
         Spencer, Esq., Cohen Mohr LLP, for the protester.
         John Cornell, Esq., Joshua Kranzberg, Esq., Mark Allen, Esq., Eric Crane, Esq.,
         and Beth Sturgess, Esq., Department of Homeland Security, for the agency.
         Christian B. Nagel, Esq., Ronald Fouse, Esq., and James J. Holt, Esq., McGuire
         Woods LLP, for ERPSI, the intervenor.
         Nora K. Adkins, Esq., and Amy B. Pereira, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
         GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
         DIGEST

         1. Protest submitted within 10 days after the reinstatement of GAO's civilian agency
         task order protest jurisdiction, but more than 70 days after submitting a letter of
         concern to the agency's contracting officer and almost 80 days after receiving a
         debriefing, is dismissed as untimely because the reinstatement of GAO's jurisdiction
         did not restart the protester's 10-day deadline to file a bid protest at GAO.

         2. Supplemental protest based on information obtained by protester in connection
         with an untimely initial protest is dismissed as untimely.
         DECISION

         Bart & Associates, Inc., of McLean, Virginia, protests the Department of Homeland
         Security, United States Customs and Immigration Services' (USCIS) issuance of
         task orders to Enterprise Resource Planned System International (ERPSI), of
         Laurel, Maryland, and NCI Information Systems, Inc., of Reston, Virginia, pursuant
         to solicitation No. HSSCCG-1 6-R-00027-02 for flexible agile software development
         (FADS) II services. The protester challenges the agency's evaluation of Bart's
         technical demonstration and past performance, and argues that the agency's
         best-value tradeoff decision failed to follow the solicitation's weighting scheme.


The protest is dismissed.
