DIGEST Protest that solicitation improperly required offerors to propose a brand-name product is dismissed where the protester is not an interested party to bring the allegation. The contracting officer exercised reasonable discretion in selecting an indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicle, and the protester--which does not hold the requisite IDIQ contract--was ineligible for contract award. DECISION C3.ai, of Redwood City, California, protests the issuance of a task order to i3 Federal LLC, of Clifton, Virginia, by the Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), under request for task order proposals (RFTOP) No. 75D301-22-R-72452, to support the CDC Common Operating Picture SaaS (software as a service) Solution (COPSS). The protester argues that the RFTOP improperly required the contractor to provide the Palantir Gotham Platform1 that is proprietary to Palantir Technologies Incorporated. 1 The agency explains that Palantir Foundry is a configuration of the Palantir Gotham platform, and that for the CDC's purposes in this procurement, Foundry is a common feature set of the Gotham platform.
