DIGEST

1. Protest challenging acceptability of awardee's quotation for allegedly departing from
administrative requirements is denied with regard to its inclusion of a document where
the solicitation did not prohibit such submission; and dismissed with regard to the
alleged use of a non-conforming type font where the record does not support the
allegation.

2. Protest alleging agency conducted a flawed and inadequately documented price
realism analysis of awardee's quotation is dismissed where the record shows that a
price realism analysis was neither required by the solicitation nor conducted.
DECISION

Bauer Technologies, Inc., of Arlington, Virginia, protests the issuance of a task order to
Taurean General Services, Inc., of San Antonio, Texas, under request for quotations
(RFQ) No. 831710439, issued by the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) for
technical support services. The protester contends that the agency should have
excluded the awardee's quotation from consideration because it allegedly departed from
the RFQ's administrative requirements. The protester also contends that the agency
conducted a flawed and inadequately documented price realism analysis of the
awardee's quotation.


We deny the protest in part and dismiss it in part.
