Comptroller General Washington, DC 20548 of the United States DOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE The decision issued on the date below was subject to Decision a GAO Protective Order. The entire decision has now been approved for public release. Matter of: NCS Technologies, Inc. File: B-417956; B-417956.2 Date: December 13, 2019 Thomas K. David, Esq., Kenneth D. Brody, Esq., and Katherine A. David, Esq., David, Brody & Dondershine, LLP, for the protester. William T. Welch, Esq., and Johana A. Reed, Esq., McMahon, Welch and Learned, PLLC, for New Tech Solutions, Inc., the intervenor. Dorothy M. Guy, Esq., Tal Kedem, Esq., and Alice Somers, Esq., Social Security Administration, and Jennifer L. Howard, Esq., General Services Administration, for the agencies. April Y. Shields, Esq., and Christina Sklarew, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest challenging the establishment of a blanket purchase agreement (BPA) with a vendor holding two overlapping Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) contracts is sustained where the BPA was established under the vendor's first FSS contract that included an insufficient period of performance to cover the potential duration of the anticipated BPA, and where the BPA could not properly be established under either a combination of the vendor's two FSS contracts or the vendor's second FSS contract. DECISION NCS Technologies, Inc., of Gainesville, Virginia, protests the establishment of a blanket purchase agreement (BPA) with New Tech Solutions, Inc., of Fremont, California, under request for quotations (RFQ) No. 28321319Q00000008, which was issued by the Social Security Administration (SSA) for laptops, workstations, peripheral equipment, and installation services. The protester argues that the agency's establishment of a BPA with New Tech--which held two overlapping Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) contracts when it submitted its final revised quotation--was improper. We sustain the protest.
