Comptroller General Washington, DC 20548 of the United States DOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE The decision issued on the date below was subject to a GAO Protective Order. No party requested redactions; we D ecision Iare therefore releasing the decision in its entirety. Matter of: SMARTnet, Inc. File: B-416047; B-416047.2 Date: May 23, 2018 Thomas K. David, Esq., Kenneth D. Brody, Esq., and Katherine A. David, Esq., David, Brody & Dondershine, LLP, for the protester. Christopher S. Cole, Esq., Department of the Air Force, for the agency. Paul N. Wengert, Esq., and Tania Calhoun, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest that agency misevaluated protester's price by using the grand total of all priced line items is denied where, notwithstanding protester's argument that the prices included optional services not required by the statement of work, its quotation price schedule did not identify any prices as optional. 2. Protest that agency improperly issued order to awardee whose quotation did not include fixed price for warranty as required by solicitation is denied where protester was not prejudiced by agency's waiver of the requirement for fixed price warranty because protester's quotation also failed to provide a fixed-price warranty. DECISION SMARTnet, Inc., of Leesburg, Virginia, a small business, protests the award of a contract to IMS Technology and Security, LLC, of Moraine, Ohio, under request for quotations (RFQ) No. F4FBK7284A1 01, issued by the Department of the Air Force, Air Force Materiel Command, for commercial products and installation to upgrade the physical access control system (PACS) at six buildings used by the Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT) at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, in Ohio. SMARTnet argues that the Air Force misevaluated its price, and thus violated the evaluation scheme in the RFQ by awarding the contract at a price higher than SMARTnet quoted, and that the Air Force improperly waived the requirement for a fixed-price warranty. We deny the protest.
