          DIGEST

          Agency reasonably determined that a quotation was unacceptable for failing to
          include sufficient detail about the qualifications of its proposed staff where, although
          solicitation required resumes, the quotation did not include resumes for one-third of
          the staff members, and did not otherwise provide information describing the
          qualification of the staff members.
          DECISION

          Verizon Federal, Inc. protests the United States Marines Corps's award of a blanket
          purchase agreement (BPA) to Qwest Government Services, under an unnumbered
          request for quotations (RFQ) from Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) vendors, for
          telecommunications technical support services for the Marine Corps Base, Quantico,
          Virginia.

          We deny the protest.

          The RFQ, issued to four FSS vendors, contemplated award of a BPA, for a base year
          with 4 option years, to furnish telecommunications technical support services,
          including the following task areas to be performed by designated labor categories:
          (1) updating infrastructure documentation (using a computer aided design (CAD)
          drafter); (2) supervising and coordinating telecommunications service personnel
          (telecommunications supervisor); (3) infrastructure engineering (structured wire
          engineer); (4) building wiring installation (building wiring technician); (5) system
