Washington, DC 20548                                  The decision issued on the date below was subject to a
                                                      GAO Protective Order. This redacted version has been

          Decision

          Matter of: Ridoc Enterprise, Inc.

          File:        B-292962.4

          Date:        July 6, 2004

          Lawrence J. Sklute, Esq., and Nolan Sklute, Esq., Sklute & Associates, for the
          protester.
          David J. Taylor, Esq., Tighe Patton Armstrong Teasdale, for C.R.B. Associates of
          Virginia, Inc., an intervenor.
          Audrey Roh, Esq., Department of Homeland Security-U.S. Coast Guard, for the
          agency.
          Jacqueline Maeder, Esq., and John M. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
          GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
          DIGEST

          1. Protest that agency unreasonably evaluated protester's quotation is denied where
          record shows that evaluation was reasonable and consistent with stated evaluation
          criteria, and protester's contentions amount to disagreement with the evaluation.

          2. Protester is not interested party for purposes of challenging awardee's entitlement
          to award where record shows that, even if protester were correct, intervening
          vendor, not protester, would be next in line for award.
          DECISION

          Ridoc Enterprise, Inc. protests the issuance of a purchase order to C.R.B. Associates
          of Virginia, Inc. under request for quotations (RFQ) No. DTCG84-03-Q-AA5063,
          issued by the Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Coast Guard, for armed
          security guard and fire communications operator services at the Coast Guard Service
          Center, Elizabeth City, North Carolina. Ridoc principally challenges the agency's
          evaluation of its and C.R.B.'s quotations.

          We deny the protest.

          BACKGROUND

          The RFQ, issued August 13, 2003 as a section 8(a) set-aside, contemplated the
          issuance of a fixed-price purchase order for a base year, with four 1-year options.
