Decision


Matter of: Crosstown Courier Service, Inc.

File:       B-414752

Date:       September 1, 2017

Nancy M. Camardo, Esq., Camardo Law Firm, P.C., for the protester.
David G. Fagan, Esq., Department of Veterans Affairs, for the agency.
Frank Maguire, Esq., and Jennifer D. Westfall-McGrail, Esq., Office of the General
Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
DIGEST

Protester's argument that awardee will not comply with the solicitation's limitation on
subcontracting requirements is denied where the protester points to no part of the
awardee's quotation where the awardee has not agreed to comply with the solicitation's
limitation on subcontracting provisions, the agency advises that nothing on the face of
the awardee's quotation led it to conclude that the awardee would not comply with the
solicitation's subcontracting limitations, and our review of the quotation gives us no
basis to question the agency's judgment.
DECISION

Crosstown Courier Service, Inc. (Crosstown), of Chicopee, Massachusetts, protests the
award of a contract to FG Management Group (FGMG), of Maplewood, New Jersey,
under request for quotations (RFQ) No. VA260-17-Q-0329, issued by the Department of
Veterans Affairs (VA) for courier services. Crosstown challenges FGMG's compliance
with applicable limitation on subcontracting requirements.

We deny the protest.

The RFQ, which was set aside for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses,
contemplated the award of a fixed-priced, indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contract
for courier services for the Boise VA Medical Center lab, pharmacy, and radiology
departments, for one base year and three option years. RFQ at 1. Award was to be
made on a lowest-priced technically acceptable basis, considering the following four
evaluation factors: recent or current relevant experience; capabilities to perform service;
past performance; and price. RFQ at 65-66.
