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. This redacted version has been approved for public release. Matter of: Epic Systems, Inc. File: B-418104; B-418104.2 Date: January 2, 2020 John R. Tolle, Esq., and H. Todd Whay, Esq., Baker, Cronogue, Tolle & Werfel, LLP, for the protester. Shiva S. Hamidinia, Esq., Lars E. Anderson, Esq., and James P. Miller, Esq., Odin Feldman Pittleman P.C., for TriPoint Solutions, LLC, the intervenor. Rebecca Saroyan, Esq., General Services Administration, for the agency. Kasia Dourney, Esq., and Christina Sklarew, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest challenging evaluation of awardee's price is denied where the nature and extent of the agency's price realism analysis was a matter within its discretion, and the record shows that the evaluation was reasonable. 2. Protest challenging the agency's best-value determination is denied when the agency reasonably concluded that the protester's quotation was only slightly superior to the awardee's quotation under the non-price evaluation factors, and therefore reasonably made award to the lower-priced vendor. DECISION Epic Systems, Inc. (Epic), a small business of Aldie, Virginia, protests the issuance of a task order to TriPoint Solutions, LLC (TriPoint), a small business of Potomac Falls, Virginia, under request for quotations (RFQ) No. 1350328, issued by the General Services Administration (GSA) for data science research analysis to support the Defense Travel Management Office (DTMO). Epic argues the agency's evaluation of vendors' quotations and resulting award decision were improper. We deny the protest.
