B-416249.2 1 (2018-06-21)

handle is hein.gao/gaobaduul0001 and id is 1 raw text is: GAO U.S. GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABILITY OFFICE 441 G St. N.W. Comptroller General Washington, DC 20548 of the United States Decision Matter of: URTruckBroker Corporation File: B-416249.2 Date: June 21, 2018 Brian Simbirski, Niagara Consulting, for the protester. Melody A. Goldberg, Esq., Department of Veterans Affairs, for the agency. Mary-Catherine P. Overcash, Todd C. Culliton, Esq., and Edward Goldstein, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest challenging agency's decision to clarify terms of solicitation as part of corrective action is denied where the solicitation was ambiguous regarding the basis for award since it included language indicating that award would be made using a best-value tradeoff source selection process, as well as language indicating that award would be made to the firm submitting the lowest-priced, technically acceptable quotation. DECISION URTruckBroker Corporation, of Texarkana, Texas, protests the agency's proposed corrective action following a prior protest filed by URTruckBroker challenging the award of a contract to Owl, Inc., under request for quotations (RFQ) No. 36C25818Q0009, issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) for the provision of linen transportation services. The protester contends that the agency's intention to terminate the awarded contract, amend the solicitation, and accept revised quotations--rather than simply reevaluate the submitted quotations under the original criteria--is an unreasonable response to its earlier protest challenging the agency's evaluation process. We deny the protest. BACKGROUND The RFQ, issued on January 18, 2018, contemplated the award of a fixed-price contract with a 7-month base period of performance, and three 1-year option periods for the provision of linen transportation services to the Northern Arizona Veterans Affairs
