handle is hein.gao/gaocrptavyc0001 and id is 1 raw text is: G A A Comptroller General of the United States United States Government Accountability Office Washington, DC 20548 DOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE The decision issued on the date below was subject to a GAO Protective Order. This redacted version has been Decision .approved for public release. Matter of: Domain Name Alliance Registry File: B-310803.2 Date: August 18, 2008 Roger D. Waldron, Esq., Marcia G. Madsen, Esq., Mary Streett, Esq., and Melissa Baker, Esq., Mayer Brown LLP, for the protester. Richard J. Vacura, Esq., and Keric B. Chin, Esq., Morrison & Foerster LLP, for NeuStar, Inc., an intervenor. Mark Langstein, Esq., and Richard Brown, Esq., Department of Commerce, for the agency. Jonathan L. Kang, Esq., and Ralph 0. White, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest arguing that the agency could not properly complete a reevaluation, pursuant to an earlier corrective action, without holding discussions with the protester, and allowing it to submit a revised proposal, is dismissed as untimely where the protester waited until the second award decision to challenge the lack of opportunity for discussions, despite the fact that the agency's actions--from the time it initiated the corrective action until the second award decision--clearly indicated that the agency did not contemplate holding discussions. 2. Protester challenging agency's evaluation of offerors' quotes is denied where the record supports the reasonableness of the evaluations. DECISION Domain Name Alliance Registry (DNAR) protests the award of a contract to NeuStar, Inc. by the Department of Commerce (DOC), National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), under request for quotations (RFQ) No. NTIA9110-7-12841, for internet domain name services. The protester contends that DOC's award determination was flawed because the agency never held discussions with DNAR, despite holding discussions with the awardee prior to an earlier selection decision for these services, and because the agency's evaluation of the offerors' quotes was unreasonable.
