File:     B-419005, B-419005.2

Date:     October 28, 2020

Douglas  L. Patin, Esq., and Lisa A. Markman, Esq., Bradley, Arant, Boult, Cummings,

Amy  Cook, Esq., General Services Administration, for the agency.
Heather Self, Esq., and Peter Tran, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO,

DIGEST

1. Protest that the solicitation contained a latent ambiguity is denied because the
protester's interpretation of the solicitation language is not reasonable.

2. Protest that the agency unreasonably evaluated the protester's quotation as
technically unacceptable is denied because the record reflects that the agency's
evaluation was reasonable and in accordance with the solicitation.
DECISION

Prudential Protective Services, LLC, a small business of Monroe, Michigan, protests the
issuance of an order to Starside Security and Investigation, Inc., a small business of
Diamond  Bar, California, under request for quotations (RFQ) No. ID07200045, issued
by the General Services Administration (GSA), on behalf of the United States Marshals
Service (USMS), for detention officers. The protester argues that the agency
unreasonably found its quotation technically unacceptable.


We  deny the protest.
