handle is hein.gao/gaobadtxc0001 and id is 1 raw text is: GO U.S. GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABILITY OFFICE 441 G St. N.W. 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: Knight Point Systems, LLC File: B-414802 Date: September 20, 2017 Francis E. Purcell, Jr., Esq., Thomas 0. Mason, Esq., Joseph R. Berger, Esq., and Raymond C. McCann, Esq., Thompson Hine LLP, for the protester. JoAnn W. Melesky, Esq., Anthony J. Balestreri, Esq., and Daniel C. McIntosh, Esq., Defense Information Systems Agency, for the agency. Paula J. Haurilesko, Esq., and Laura Eyester, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest to GAO is timely where, consistent with GAO Bid Protest Regulations and decisions, the protester filed its agency-level protest before the next closing time for receipt of proposals and filed its protest with our Office within 10 days of an adverse agency action. 2. Protest that the agency improperly eliminated two of five technical/management subfactors is denied, where the elimination of the subfactors reflected the focus of the solicitation on the provision of services, rather than equipment. 3. Protest that the agency unreasonably eliminated the use of pricing notes in a spreadsheet is denied, where the agency reasonably concluded that the removal of potentially hundreds of pricing notes for thousands of line items would reduce potential uncertainties during contract administration and the solicitation permitted offerors to provide explanations in a pricing narrative. DECISION Knight Point Systems, LLC (KPS), of Reston, Virginia, protests the terms of request for proposals (RFP) No. HC1028-16-R-0012, issued by the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) for communication infrastructure services. KPS contends that the RFP, as amended, is improper. We deny the protest.
