         Decision


         Matter of: Goel Services, Inc.

         File:       B-310822.2

         Date:       May 23, 2008

         Abiye Tibebe, Esq., Quagliano & Seeger, PC, for the protester.
         Lawrence M. Prosen, Esq., and Joel S. Rubinstein, Esq., Bell, Boyd & Lloyd LLP, for
         Grunley Construction Company, the intervenor.
         Timothy C. Tozer, Esq., General Services Administration, Public Buildings Service,
         for the agency.
         Paula A. Williams, Esq., and Ralph 0. White, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
         GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
         DIGEST

         Protester's contention that the agency failed to apply the Historically Underutilized
         Business Zone (HUBZone) price evaluation preference is denied where the
         solicitation did not include the HUBZone price evaluation preference; to the extent
         the protester argues that the preference should have been included in the
         solicitation, the protest is untimely as the protester did not challenge the terms of the
         solicitation until after the agency made an award.
         DECISION

         Goel Services, Inc. protests the award of a contract to Grunley Construction
         Company under invitation for bids (IFB) No. GS-1 1P-07-MKC-0093 issued by the
         General Services Administration (GSA) for construction services. Goel contends
         that GSA improperly failed to apply the HUBZone price evaluation preference to the
         bids received which prevented the firm from receiving the award.

         We deny the protest.

         The IFB, issued on September 6, 2007 and amended several times, called for the
         demolition and construction of a security screening area at a Department of State
         federal building in Washington, DC. By the October 18 bid opening date, the agency
