Comptroller General Washington, DC 20548 of the United States Decision Matter of: D B Systems File: B-419542 Date: April 28, 2021 Dewey Blake Jr., for the protester. Natica Chapman Neely, Esq., Department of Veterans Affairs, for the agency. Sarah T. Zaffina, Esq., and Jennifer D. Westfall-McGrail, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Where request for quotations included the late submission provision set forth in Federal Acquisition Regulation provision 52.212-1(f)(2)(i) and protester's quotation was received after the submission deadline, protester is ineligible for award and is therefore not an interested party to challenge the awardee's evaluation. DECISION D B Systems (DBS),1 a service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB) of Washington, New Jersey, protests the issuance of an order to Elevated Technologies, Inc. (ETI), of Grand Rapids, Michigan, under request for quotations (RFQ) No. 36C2462000241, issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) for elevator maintenance and repair services at the Durham VA Medical Center (VAMC). DBS contends that the agency's evaluation of ETI's quotation and the award decision are unreasonable. We dismiss the protest. BACKGROUND On July 2, 2020, the agency issued the RFQ as an SDVOSB set-aside, to procure elevator maintenance and repair services for the VAMC pursuant to the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) part 12, commercial items, and subpart 13.5, simplified 1 DBS is also identified in the protest record as DB Systems Tech, Inc. and D&B Systems.
