This redacted version has been approved for public release. Matter of: 22nd Century Technologies, Inc. File: B-417478.3; B-417478.4 Date: February 24, 2020 Daniel J. Strouse, Esq., David Cohen, Esq., and John J. O'Brien, Esq., Cordatis LLP, for the protester. William T. Welch, Esq., Patrick McMahon, Esq., and Orest J. Jowyk, Esq., McMahon, Welch & Learned, PLLC, for KCI-Acuity, LLC, the intervenor. Tudo N. Pham, Esq., Department of State, for the agency. Jonathan L. Kang, Esq., and Laura Eyester, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Challenges to the evaluation of the protester's technical and price quotations are denied where the evaluations were reasonable and consistent with the terms of the solicitation. 2. Challenge to the agency's evaluation of experience and past performance of the awardee, a joint venture, is denied where the evaluation was consistent with the terms of the solicitation and applicable small business regulations. DECISION 22nd Century Technologies, Inc., of McLean, Virginia, protests the issuance of a task order to KCI-Acuity, LLC, of Leesburg, Virginia, by the Department of State (DOS), under request for quotations (RFQ) No. 19AQMM19Q0098, which was issued for information technology (IT) support services. 22nd Century argues that the award to KCI-Acuity was improper because DOS unreasonably evaluated the vendors' quotations under the management and technical, price, and similar experience and past performance factors. We deny the protest.
