Comptroller General Washington, DC 20548 of the United States Decision Matter of: Verizon Business Network Services, Inc. File: B-418331.3; B-418331.4; B-418331.5 Date: July 10, 2020 Jason A. Carey, Esq., Kayleigh M. Scalzo, Esq., and Andrew R. Guy, Esq., Covington & Burling, LLP, for the protester. Anthony J. Balestreri, Esq., and Daniel C. McIntosh, Esq., Defense Information Systems Agency, for the agency. Stephanie B. Magnell, Esq., and Evan C. Williams, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest of the agency's use of lowest-priced, technically acceptable source selection method is denied, where such use is not in conflict with statute or regulation. 2. Protest that the solicitation's terms do not permit offerors to compete intelligently and on a relatively equal basis is denied, where the protester has not demonstrated that the terms are unclear or that it was competitively prejudiced. DECISION Verizon Business Network Services, Inc., of Ashburn, Virginia, protests the terms of request for task order proposals (RFTOP) No. 821913761, issued by the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) for telecommunications services under the Enterprise Infrastructure Solution (EIS) governmentwide acquisition contract (GWAC).1 The protester contends that the solicitation is defective because it impermissibly establishes a lowest-priced, technically acceptable basis of award, in violation of statute and regulation. The protester also alleges that the solicitation does not adequately describe the agency's needs. We deny the protest. 1 In July 2017, the General Services Administration awarded the Enterprise Infrastructure Solution (EIS) procurement as a multiple-award indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) GWAC to nine contractors, including Verizon. Agency Report (AR), Tab 2, Acquisition Plan at 1.
