Schutt, Esq., Morris, Manning & Martin, LLP, for the protester. Steven J. Koprince, Esq., Matthew P. Moriarty, Esq., Shane J. McCall, Esq., and Stephan L. Skepnek, Esq., Koprince Law LLC, for SaiTech, Inc., the intervenor. Jonathan D. Tepper, Esq., Holly H. Styles, Esq., and Kelly Zeng, Esq., Department of the Treasury, 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 Protest that agency misevaluated protester's quotation and made an unreasonable source selection decision is denied where contemporaneous record showed that the evaluation and source selection decision were reasonable and consistent with the solicitation. DECISION Open Technology Group, Inc., of Herndon, Virginia, a small business, protests the issuance of a Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) order to SaiTech, Inc., of Bethesda, Maryland, also a small business, by the Department of the Treasury, Internal Revenue Service (IRS), under FSS request for quotations (RFQ) No. BEPIT-RFQ-1 7-0017, for commercial information technology operations and maintenance support services for offices of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP), in Washington, D.C. Open, the incumbent contractor, argues that its own quotation was misevaluated under each evaluation factor, that Treasury applied different standards in evaluating SaiTech's quotation, and that the agency made an unreasonable best-value tradeoff. We deny the protest.
