Kang, Esq., and John Sorrenti, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest challenging the evaluation of a firm's statement of qualifications submitted in response to a synopsis for architect-engineer work is dismissed as untimely where the firm was not chosen as the most highly qualified firm, was offered a pre-award debriefing, elected to defer the debriefing until after the agency negotiated a contract with the most highly qualified firm, and then filed a protest after receiving award notice. DECISION Battelle Memorial Institute (Battelle) of Columbus, Ohio, protests the selection of Geosyntec Jacobs, A Joint Venture (Geosyntec Jacobs) of San Diego, California, as the most highly qualified firm to submit a statement of qualifications in response to synopsis No. N39430-21-R-2201, issued by the Department of the Navy for architect/engineering (A/E) services. Battelle challenges the agency's evaluation of its own statement of qualifications as unreasonable, and argues that it should have been chosen as the most highly qualified firm. We dismiss the protest as untimely.
