Comptroller General Washington, DC 20548 of the United States Decision Matter of: NextStep Technology, Inc. File: B-416877 Date: January 3, 2019 Vincent Viriya for the protester. Matthew T. Schoonover, Esq., Koprince Law, LLC, for Federal Integrated Systems Corporation, the intervenor. Jean D. Wulff, Esq., and Chioma M. Ayogu, Esq., Department of Transportation, for the agency. Paula A. Williams, Esq., and Edward Goldstein, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest challenging the agency's evaluation of quotations and the resulting best-value decision is denied where the record shows that the agency's evaluation and award decisions were reasonable and consistent with the solicitation. DECISION NextStep Technology, Inc. (NextStep), of Lorton, Virginia, protests the establishment of a blanket purchase agreement (BPA) with Federal Integrated Systems Corporation (Federal), of Alexandria, Virginia, under request for quotations (RFQ) No. 693JJ418Q000011, issued by the United States Department of Transportation for professional and administrative support services for various divisions of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). The protester argues that the agency's evaluation of its quotation under the past performance factor and the resulting best- value tradeoff decision were improper.' We deny the protest. 1 NextStep was not represented by counsel and therefore could not review proprietary and source selection sensitive information under a protective order. Accordingly, the agency produced redacted agency reports for the protester and the intervenor. This decision is based on our review of the unredacted record.
