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 version has been L approved for public release Matter of: Softrams, LLC; Chags Health Information Technology, LLC File: B-419927.4; B-419927.5; B-419927.6; B-419927.7; B-419927.8 Date: February 7, 2022 Amy L. O'Sullivan, Esq., and Zachary H. Schroeder, Esq., Crowell & Moring LLP, for Softrams, LLC; and David B. Dixon, Esq., Robert C. Starling, Esq., and Toghrul M. Shukurlu, Esq., Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman LLP, for Chags Health Information Technology, LLC, the protesters. Elizabeth Jochum, Esq., and Oliver E. Jury, Esq., Blank Rome, for OmniFed LLC d/b/a Omni Federal, the intervenor. Martin McEnrue, Esq., Department of Health and Human Services, for the agency. Heather Self, Esq., and Peter H. Tran, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protests challenging issuance of federal supply schedule order are sustained because, in making its source selection decision, the agency unreasonably relied upon a portion of the awarded quotation submitted by a vendor configuration that had been eliminated from the competition. DECISION Softrams, LLC, a small business of Leesburg, Virginia, and Chags Health Information Technology, LLC (C-HIT), a small business of Columbia, Maryland, protest the issuance of an order from the General Services Administration (GSA) federal supply schedule (FSS) to OmniFed LLC d/b/a Omni Federal (Omni), a small business of Gainesville, Virginia. The order arises from request for quotations (RFQ) No. 210432 issued by the Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), for operations and management of the agency's identity management system. The protesters argue that Omni is ineligible for award, challenge the agency's evaluation of quotations, and contend that the best-value tradeoff was unreasonable. We sustain the protests.
