          DIGEST

          1. Protest alleging bias against protester and favoritism toward awardee is denied
          where record fails to support protester's allegations.

          2. Protest of the scope of solicitation amendment's work requirements is denied
          where record shows amendment reasonably reflects agency's anticipated needs.

          3. Protest of agency's rejection of protester's revised quotation as late is denied
          where there is no evidence that the quotation was actually received at the designated
          location prior to the closing time.
          DECISION

          International Garment Processors (IGP) has filed three protests with our Office. The
          firm's initial protest (B-299674) challenges an award to Supreme Laundry and
          Cleaners under solicitation No. W91 1SG-07-T-3000, issued by the Department of the
          Army for dry cleaning, laundry, and sewing services for personnel and programs at
          Fort Bliss, Texas. IGP primarily contends that the agency has made a series of
          misstatements that call into question the credibility of agency contract personnel,
          and that an agency evaluator was biased against IGP and favored Supreme. IGP's
          second protest (B-299743) challenges the terms of request for quotations (RFQ) No.
          W911SG-07-T-0201, issued for limited interim laundry services during the pendency
          of IGP's protest of the Supreme contract. IGP's third protest (B-299746) challenges
          the agency's determination that the protester's revised quotation for the interim
          work was not timely received by the agency.


We deny the protests.
