DIGEST

1. Protest challenging agency's evaluation of quotations is denied where the agency's
evaluation was reasonable and consistent with the terms of the solicitation.

2. Allegation of material misrepresentation by awardee is denied where the record does
not establish that statements in awardee's proposal constitute material
misrepresentations.
DECISION

Tapestry Technologies, Inc., a woman-owned small business of Chambersburg,
Pennsylvania, protests the issuance of a task order to IPKeys Technologies, LLC, a
woman-owned small business of Stafford, Virginia, under request for quotations (RFQ)
No. 831711853, issued by the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA), for
technical assessment and support services. Tapestry challenges the agency's
evaluation of quotations and the best-value tradeoff decision, and argues that the
awardee's quotation included a material misrepresentation.

We deny the protest.

BACKGROUND

The RFQ was issued on July 31, 2018, pursuant to the procedures in Federal
Acquisition Regulation subpart 8.4, as a set-aside for woman-owned small businesses
