DECISION
Compel JV, LLC, of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, protests the decision by the Department of
Health and Human Services, Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services
Administration (SAMHSA), to exclude Compel's proposal from consideration under
request for task order proposals (RFTOP) No. 283-23-0593, titled SAMHSA 988 &
Behavioral Health Crisis Coordinating Office Communications Support. Protest at 1.1
Compel's proposal was excluded from consideration based on the agency's
determination that it failed to provide all of the information required by the solicitation.
Compel contends that its proposal contained all information reasonably considered to
be required and, alternatively, asserts that the solicitation contained latent ambiguities.
Id. at 10-14.
We deny the protest.
