File: B-279551; B-279551.2 Date: June 29, 1998 Robert E. Sheker for the protester. Alton E. Woods, Esq., and Justin P. Patterson, Esq., Department of the Interior, for the agency. Christina Sklarew, Esq., and Paul Lieberman, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest that solicitation is overly restrictive of competition is untimely when filed after award. 2. Protest that qualification in protester's quotation, taking exception to solicitation requirements, would not have affected performance and therefore should not have been considered material, is denied where the agency reasonably supports its conclusion that the exceptions taken would adversely affect performance. DECISION Envirodyne Systems Inc. protests the rejection of its quotation as technically unacceptable under request for quotations (RFQ) No. 1500-8-0003, issued by the Department of the Interior, National Park Service for a sludge dewatering solids bagging system for the water treatment facility at the Mount Rushmore National Memorial. Envirodyne contends that the agency improperly concluded that Enviro dyne's quotation did not satisfy material solicitation specifications. Envirodyne also challenges the Park Service's selection of Aero-Mod/Waterlink, Inc., alleging that the firm's quotation took exception to the solicitation's performance requirements. We deny the protest. The Park Service posted a notice in the Commerce Business Daily (CBD) on February 19, 1998, described as a combined synopsis/solicitation.1 The solicitation required vendors to submit complete assembly, foundation, and installation 1The CBD synopsis stated that further information would be provided upon written request. The Park Service made a standard form 1449 and a more detailed solicitation available to the offerors.
