Comptroller General Washington, DC 20548 of the United States DOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE Decision The decision issued on the date below was subject to a GAO Protective Order. This redacted version has been approved for public release. Matter of: Olympus Building Services, Inc. File: B-416599; B-416599.2; B-416599.3 Date: October 24, 2018 Ruth E. Ganister, Esq., Rosenthal and Ganister, LLC, for the protester. Caleb A. Pearson, Esq., Department of Agriculture, for the agency. Alexander 0. Levine, Esq., and Jennifer D. Westfall-McGrail, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest challenging agency's evaluation of protester's quotation is denied where the evaluation was reasonable, conducted in accordance with the solicitation's evaluation criteria, and otherwise unobjectionable. 2. Protest challenging agency's failure to weight technical factors in accordance with the evaluation criteria is denied, where the record demonstrates that the protester was not prejudiced by the agency's error. DECISION Olympus Building Services, Inc., a small business located in Tempe, Arizona, challenges the issuance of a Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) order to Integrity National Corporation, under request for quotations (RFQ) No. AG-3142-S-1 7-0012, issued by the Department of Agriculture (USDA) for custodial services and waste removal at the USDA's headquarters complex. The protester contends that the agency misevaluated both Olympus' quotation and the quotation of the awardee under the solicitation's non-price factors. We deny the protest. BACKGROUND The solicitation, issued on July 14, 2017, through the General Services Administration e-Buy system, sought a contractor to provide custodial and waste removal services at the USDA's headquarter complex. The solicitation envisioned the award of a fixed- price, FSS order with a 1-year base period and four 1-year option periods. RFQ at 1-2.
