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 approved for public release. Matter of: Quality Technology, Inc. File: B-420576.3 Date: June 30, 2022 Donald J. Walsh, Esq., RKW Law Group, for the protester. David B. Dixon, Esq., Robert C. Starling, Esq., and Toghrul M. Shukurlu, Esq., Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman LLP, for Sparksoft Corportation, the intervenor. William Shim, Esq., and Ethan Chae, 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 1. Protest allegations challenging agency's price evaluation are dismissed where certain arguments are untimely challenges to the terms of the solicitation and the remaining allegations fail to set forth a legally sufficient basis of protest. 2. Protest arguing that a prior protest filed with our Office by another offeror constituted discussions with the agency, and the agency was therefore required to conduct discussions with all offerors as part of the agency's reevaluation of proposals, is dismissed as failing to set forth a legally sufficient basis of protest. DECISION Quality Technology, Inc. (QuTech), a small business of Lanham, Maryland, protests the issuance of a task order to Sparksoft Corporation, a small business of Columbia, Maryland, under task order request for proposals (RFP) No. 75FCMC21 R0042. The Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) issued the solicitation for information technology (IT) services. The protester challenges the agency's price evaluation, and contends that the agency engaged in unequal discussions. We dismiss the protest.
