B-415716.40 1 (2019-10-04)

handle is hein.gao/gaobaeabd0001 and id is 1 raw text is: GO U.S. GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABILITY OFFICE 441 G St. N.W. Comptroller General Washington, DC 20548 of the United States Decision Matter of: Information Unlimited, Inc. File: B-415716.40 Date: October 4, 2019 Herschel Chandler, Information Unlimited, Inc., for the protester. Alexis J. Bernstein, Esq., Colonel Patricia S. Wiegman-Lenz, and Lieutenant Colonel Ryan J. Lambrecht, Department of the Air Force, for the agency. Katherine I. Riback, Esq., and Amy B. Pereira, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Post-debriefing protest of contracting agency's evaluation of protester's proposal is dismissed as untimely where protester did not diligently pursue a debriefing, by waiting approximately 7 months to receive its debriefing. DECISION Information Unlimited, Inc. (IUI), a small business of Washington, D.C., protests the exclusion of its proposal from the competition by the Department of the Air Force (AF) under request for proposals (RFP) No. FA8771-17-R-1 000 for information technology (IT) services. IUI argues that the agency unreasonably evaluated its proposal under the technical experience factor. We dismiss the protest as untimely because the protester failed to diligently pursue its protest. 1 The Air Force issued the Small Business Enterprise Application Solutions (SBEAS) RFP on September 28, 2017, which was set aside for small businesses, pursuant to the procedures of Federal Acquisition Regulation part 15. On December 21, 2018, the agency emailed IUI regarding its proposal submitted in response to the SBEAS RFP. 1 IUI proceeded with its protest pro se, and therefore no protective order was issued in this protest. Accordingly, our discussion of some aspects of the evaluation is necessarily general in nature in order to avoid reference to non-public information.
