Comptroller General Washington, DC 20548 of the United States Decision Matter of: Accenture Federal Services, LLC File: B-418321.4 Date: January 29, 2021 Amy Laderberg O'Sullivan, Esq., Anuj Vohra, Esq., Olivia L. Lynch, Esq., William B. O'Reilly, Esq., and Zachary H. Schroeder, Esq., Crowell & Moring LLP, for the protester. Robyn A. Littman, Esq., and Lucy G. MacGabhann, Esq., Department of Health and Human Services, for the agency. Glenn G. Wolcott, Esq., and Christina Sklarew, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Procuring agency is responsible for defining its needs and determining the best methods for meeting its requirements, and this extends to matters involving the relevance of offerors' performance history. 2. Protester's assertion that the terms of a solicitation should be more restrictive fails to state a basis for protest. 3. Protester's speculation that the agency will evaluate proposals in an unreasonable manner is premature. DECISION Accenture Federal Services, LLC, of Arlington, Virginia, protests the provisions of task order request for proposals (TORP) No. 191606, issued by the Department of Health and Human Services, seeking services to support operation of the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services' (CMS) federally facilitated exchange. (FFE).1 Accenture, the incumbent contractor, challenges the solicitation provisions regarding evaluation of corporate experience. 1 The FFE is a health insurance exchange, the public-facing component of which is known as Healthcare.gov. The FFE is operated by CMS pursuant to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, and allows individuals and small-business employers to compare and shop for private health insurance options.
