Matter of:   ActioNet, Inc.

File:        B-416557.4

Date:        February 27, 2019

Gregory H. Petkoff, Esq., and Carla J. Weiss, Esq., Jenner & Block LLP, for the
protester.
Damien C. Specht, Esq., Rachael K. Plymale, Esq., and R. Locke Bell, Esq., Morrison &
Foerster LLP, for the intervenor.
William B. Blake, Esq., Department of the Interior, for the agency.
John Sorrenti, Esq., and Christina Sklarew, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO,
participated in the preparation of the decision.
DIGEST

In taking corrective action in response to bid protest, agency acted within its discretion
to limit quotation revisions allowing offerors to update only key personnel where agency
reasonably concluded that only this information was needed.
DECISION

ActioNet, Inc. of Vienna, Virginia protests the corrective action taken by the Department
of the Interior (DOI), Interior Business Center, Acquisition Services Directorate, in
response to ActioNet's protest of DOl's issuance of a task order to ASRC Federal Data
Network Technologies (AFDNT) of Beltsville, Maryland, under request for quotations
(RFQ) No. 140D0418Q01 72, for Defense Healthcare Management Systems
sustainment and systems integration support services. ActioNet alleges that the
agency's decision to allow offerors to update their quotations to substitute key personnel
but not allow any other quotation revisions is unreasonable and constitutes unequal
discussions.

We deny the protest.

BACKGROUND

The agency issued the RFQ to holders of the National Institutes of Health Information
Technology Acquisition and Assessment Center, Chief Information Officer-Solutions
and Partners 3 (CIO-SP3) indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity multiple-award contract.
