Cassandra Maximous, Esq., and Kasey Podzius, Esq., Department of Homeland Security, for the agency. Eric M. Ransom, Esq., and Edward Goldstein, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protestor's challenge to agency's evaluation of its quotation as technically unacceptable is denied where the record shows that the agency's evaluation was reasonable and consistent with the terms of the solicitation. DECISION Presidential Aviation, Inc., of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, protests the rejection of its quotation as technically unacceptable by the Department of Homeland Security, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), under request for quotations (RFQ) No. HSCECR-17-Q-00005, for air charter services. The protester alleges that the evaluation of its quotation was unreasonable and contrary to the terms of the RFQ. We deny the protest. BACKGROUND ICE issued the RFQ via the General Services Administration (GSA) e-Buy system on June 14, 2017, to all vendors on GSA travel solutions schedule contract 599, under special item number (SIN) category 599-4 Air Charter Services--Owner Operated, and SIN 599-5 Air Charter Services--Brokers. The RFQ anticipated issuance of a single order for air charter services for a 1-year base period and four 1-year option periods. The RFQ explained that the agency would issue the order on a best-value tradeoff basis considering three evaluation factors: technical capability, past performance, and price.
