Matter of:   All Points Logistics, Inc.

File:        B-418700.2

Date:     January 11,   2021

Thomas  K. David, Esq., Kenneth D. Brody, Esq., and Katherine A. David, Esq., David,
Brody & Dondershine, LLP, for the protester.
Kelli Cochran-Seabrook, Esq., General Services Administration, for the agency.
Michael P. Grogan, Esq., and Edward Goldstein, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
GAO,  participated in the preparation of the decision.
DIGEST

1. Protest challenging agency's evaluation of protester's corporate experience is denied
where the evaluation was reasonable and consistent with the stated evaluation criteria.

2. Protest that agency failed to raise concerns about protester's proposal after opening
discussions is denied. The record reflects that the agency did not open discussions, but
rather, merely asked clarifying questions during contractor oral presentations, which did
not amount to discussions.
DECISION

All Points Logistics, Inc. (APL), a service-disabled veteran-owned small business
(SDVOSB)   of Merritt Island, Florida, protests the issuance of a task order to Innovative
Management   Concepts (IMC), an SDVOSB   of Dulles, Virginia, under task order request
(TOR)  No. 47QFCA20R0018,   issued by the General Services Administration (GSA) for
enterprise services integration and modernization. The protester contends that the
agency's evaluation of proposals was unreasonable and that GSA erred when it failed
to advise APL about flaws in its proposal.

We  deny the protest.

BACKGROUND

The agency  issued the solicitation on March 9, 2020, pursuant to the procedures in
Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) subpart 16.5, to SDVOSB firms holding GSA
Veterans Technology Services 2 (VETS 2) indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ)
governmentwide  acquisition contracts. Agency Report (AR), Tab 1, Contracting
