DIGEST

1. Protest that agency misevaluated quotations for order under multiple-award
schedule is denied where the evaluation was reasonable and consistent with the
solicitation.

2. Protest that agency failed to reject successful vendor's quotation as unacceptable for
failing to show compliance with limitation on subcontracting clause for each option
period is denied where agency properly considered compliance based on the full term of
the order.
DECISION

Legal Interpreting Services, Inc., doing business as LIS Solutions, of Herndon, Virginia,
a small business, protests the issuance of a multiple-award schedule (MAS) order to
Rally Point Management, LLC, of Fort Walton Beach, Florida, also a small business,
under request for quotations (RFQ) No. FA4890-22-Q-0008. The Department  of the Air
Force, Air Combat Command   issued the RFQ for commercial locally-employed person
screening teams support services at multiple locations, primarily outside the United
States. Legal argues that the agency misevaluated its quotation, the agency should
have rejected Rally's quotation for failing to demonstrate compliance with a required
limitation on subcontracting clause, and that the Air Force made an unreasonable
source selection decision.


We  deny the protest.
