        DIGEST

        Agency reasonably rejected quotation as unacceptable which
        failed to include material information required by the
        solicitation.
        DECISION

        Metropolitan Van & Storage, Inc., of Benicia, California,
        protests the rejection of its quotation submitted in response
        to request for quotations (RFQ) No. TIRWR-11-Q-00003, issued
        by the Department of the Treasury, Internal Revenue Service
        (IRS), for furniture relocation and reinstallation services.
        Metropolitan contends that the agency improperly rejected its
        quotation as technically unacceptable.

        We deny the protest.

        The RFQ, posted on the federal business opportunities
        (FedBizOpps) website on November 17, 2011, sought to procure,
        pursuant to commercial acquisition procedures, furniture
        relocation and reinstallation services under a fixed-price
        contract. The furniture was required to be moved from
        Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to Sacramento, California between
        December 17, 2010 and January 15, 2011.
