Comptroller General Washington, DC 20548 of the United States DOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE The decision issued on the date below was subject to Decision a GAO Protective Order. This redacted version has been approved for public release. Matter of: Knight Point Systems, LLC File: B-418746 Date: August 24, 2020 Daniel R. Forman, Esq., Robert J. Sneckenberg, Esq., and Gabrielle D. Trujillo, Esq., Crowell & Moring LLP, for the protester. Shandra J. Kotzun, Esq., Department of Homeland Security, for the agency. Heather Weiner, Esq., and Jennifer D. Westfall-McGrail, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest challenging agency's decision to exclude quotation from consideration is sustained where record shows that quotation was eliminated based on considerations not contemplated by the solicitation's requirements. 2. Protest challenging agency's decision to exclude quotation from consideration is sustained where record shows that the agency's conclusion regarding the identity of the entity submitting the quotation is not supported by the record. DECISION Knight Point Systems, LLC, of Chantilly, Virginia, protests the Department of Homeland Security, United States Coast Guard's decision to exclude Knight Point's quotation from further consideration under request for quotation (RFQ) No. 70Z07920QPT203400, issued by the United States Coast Guard, for infrastructure management services (IMS). The protester argues that the agency unreasonably concluded that the quotation had been submitted by Knight Point's parent company, Perspecta, Inc., instead of by Knight Point, and therefore, that Knight Point was ineligible for award. We sustain the protest. BACKGROUND The Coast Guard issued the RFQ on April 6, 2020, for a multi-phase procurement under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) subpart 8.4, to vendors holding General Services Administration (GSA) Federal Supply Schedule contracts under Information Technology
