handle is hein.gao/gaobaducc0001 and id is 1 raw text is: GAOU.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: OBXtek, Inc. File: B-415258 Date: December 12, 2017 Isaias Alba, IV, Esq., Kathryn M. Kelley, Esq., Timothy F. Valley, Esq., and Samuel S. Finnerty, Esq., Piliero Mazza PLLC, for the protester. Damien C. Specht, Esq., Ethan E. Marsh, Esq., and R. Locke Bell, Esq., Morrison & Foerster LLP, for Analytic Strategies, LLC, the intervenor. Christian M. Butler, Esq., Department of Homeland Security, for the agency. Robert T. Wu, Esq., and Peter H. Tran, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest that the awardee materially misrepresented its service-disabled veteran- owned small business (SDVOSB) status is dismissed. This allegation is within the authority of the Small Business Administration, and is not for our Office to decide. 2. Protest challenging the evaluation of the protester's and awardee's quotations is denied where the record shows that the evaluation was reasonable and consistent with the terms of the solicitation. DECISION OBXtek, Inc., of Tysons Corner, Virginia, protests the issuance of a task order to Analytic Strategies, LLC, of McLean, Virginia, by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Network Security Deployment Division, under request for quotations (RFQ) No. HSSA01-17-Q-1813 for cybersecurity support services. OBXtek argues that Analytic Strategies materially misrepresented its status in order to compete for an order set aside for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses (SDVOSB), for which the protester argues the awardee is not eligible. OBXtek also challenges its own technical evaluation and Analytic Strategies' evaluation under the past performance and price factors. We dismiss the protest in part and deny the protest in part.
