Matter of: Wilson 5 Service Company, Inc.

File:        B-418650.1

Date:       June 17, 2020

James S. DelSordo, Esq., Argus Legal LLC, for the protester.
Benjamin D. Lorber, Esq., General Services Administration, for the agency.
Michael P. Price, and Edward Goldstein, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO,
participated in the preparation of the decision.
DIGEST

Protest arguing that agency unreasonably evaluated protester's quotation as
unacceptable for proposing to use a single position to satisfy a full-time manager
position as well as a full-time productive position is denied because the protest is based
on an unreasonable reading of the solicitation.
DECISION

Wilson 5 Service Company, Inc., a small business of Kittery, Maine, protests the
establishment of a blanket purchase agreement (BPA) with South Dade Air Conditioning
and Refrigerant (SDAC) of Homestead, Florida, under request for quotations (RFQ) No.
47PE0520Q0008, issued by the General Services Administration (GSA), Public
Buildings Service, Acquisition Management Division, Alabama/Mississippi Property
Management Center to support operations and maintenance (O&M) services at federal
office buildings in Montgomery, Dothan, Selma, and Opelika, Alabama. Wilson 5
argues that GSA unreasonably evaluated its quotation as technically unacceptable for
failing to meet the staffing requirements set forth in the RFQ's Performance Work
Statement (PWS).

We deny the protest.

BACKGROUND

GSA issued the RFQ on February 4, 2020, seeking quotations from small business
vendors with GSA's Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) No. 03FAC (Facilities Maintenance
and Management) contracts, to establish a BPA for facilities maintenance services
under the rules prescribed in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 8.405-3. Agency
