Victor Buonamia, People, Technology and Processes, LLC, for the protester.
Brian C. Caney, Esq., and Cheryl S. Mpande, Esq., Department of Health and Human
Services, for the agency.
Young H. Cho, Esq., and Christina Sklarew, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO,

DIGEST

1. Protest arguing that the agency utilized unstated evaluation criteria is dismissed
where the solicitation contained a patent ambiguity that the protester did not challenge
prior to the due date for the receipt of proposals.

2. Protest challenging the agency's evaluation of the protester's proposal as technically
unacceptable is denied where the evaluation was reasonable and consistent with the
solicitation.
DECISION

People, Technology and Processes, LLC (PTP), of Lakeland, Florida, protests the
Department of Health and Human Services, National Institutes of Health (NIH)'s
rejection of PTP's proposal for award of three of 10 task areas under request for
proposals (RFP) No. NIHJT2016015, for information technology (IT) supplies and
services.' The protester argues that the agency applied unstated evaluation criteria in
finding its proposal unacceptable for the three task areas it was not awarded.

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




1 The seven task areas that the protester does not protest include four task areas for
which it received awards and three task areas that it did not propose to perform.
