DIGEST
Protest that the awardee's quotation contained a material misrepresentation concerning
the availability of a proposed key person is sustained where the record shows that the
awardee's quotation stated the awardee had contingent offers for key personnel, but the
identified individual stated that they were exclusively committed to another firm, did not
consent to the use of their name or qualifications in the awardee's quotation, and did not
accept a contingent offer of employment. In addition, the record shows that the
misrepresentations had a material effect on the agency's evaluation of the awardee's
quotation.
DECISION
ASRC Federal Data Solutions, LLC (ASRC), a small business of Beltsville, Maryland,
protests the establishment of a blanket purchase agreement (BPA) with Arlluk
Technology Solutions, LLC (Arlluk), a small business of Chantilly, Virginia, under
request for quotations (RFQ) No. NIEHS-RFQ-22-6223146, which was issued by the
Department of Health and Human Services, National Institute of Environmental Health
Sciences for information technology (IT) services supporting the Division of the National
Toxicology Program (DNTP). ASRC challenges the agency's evaluation of quotations,
tradeoff analysis, and resulting source selection decision.

We sustain the protest.
