Comptroller General Washington, DC 20548 of the United States ....................................................................................................................... DOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE The decision issued on the date below was subject to Decision a GAO Protective Order. This redacted version has been approved for public release. Matter of: Archimania File: B-414653 Date: August 3, 2017 Richard W. Arnholt, Esq., Sylvia Yi, Esq., and Bryan R. King, Esq., Bass Berry & Sims, PLC, for the protester. Michelle M. Kretz, Esq., and Lee W. Crook, III, Esq., General Services Administration, for the agency. Mary G. Curcio, Esq., and Laura Eyester, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. GAO will not review a protester's challenge to another company's size status, or a decision by the Small Business Administration that a company is, or is not, a small business concern. 2. Protest that evaluator has a personal conflict of interest which precluded an unbiased evaluation is denied where there is no evidence that evaluator had a financial, personal, or other relationship with the firm selected for negotiations. 3. Protest that agency engaged in disparate evaluation is denied where record shows that the evaluation was consistent with the solicitation and the information provided in qualification statements. DECISION Archimania, a small business located in Memphis, Tennessee, protests the selection of Duvall Decker Architect, a small business located in Mound Bayou, Mississippi, for price negotiations in connection with solicitation No. GS-07-P-17-HH-C-OTBD, issued by the General Services Administration (GSA) for architect-engineer (A/E) services for the design of a new courthouse in Greenville, Mississippi. Archimania asserts that Duvall is not a small business, one of the evaluators had a personal conflict of interest, and the agency unreasonably evaluated its proposal. We deny the protest.
