Protest that agency misevaluated awardee's and protester's quotations, and

DECISION

Enhanced Veterans Solutions, Inc. (EVS), of Springfield, Virginia, a small business,
protests the issuance of a Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) task order to Focused
Management, Inc. (FMI), of Alexandria, Virginia, also a small business, under request
for quotations (RFQ) No. CFP-16-Q-00032, issued by the Consumer Financial
Protection Bureau (CFPB) for information technology support services at CFPB offices
in Washington, D.C., New York City, Chicago, and San Francisco.1 EVS argues that
the CFPB misevaluated FMI's quotation and made an unreasonable source selection
decision.

We deny the protest.


1 The RFQ also provides for services for a potential additional regional office in Atlanta.
