Matter of:   South Dade  Air Conditioning and Refrigeration, Inc.

File:        B-421406

Date:     April   25, 2023

Michelle F. Kantor, Esq., and Sanford E. Watson, Esq., McDonald Hopkins LLC, for the
protester.
W. Benjamin  Phillips, III, Esq., and John Prairie, Esq., Wiley Rein, LLP, for Raven
Services Corporation, the intervenor.
Robert Notigan, Esq., and Benjamin D. Lorber, Esq., General Services Administration,
for the agency.
Michelle F. Kantor, Esq., McDonald Hopkins LLC, for the protester.
Mary  G. Curcio, Esq., and John Sorrenti, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO,
participated in the preparation of the decision.
DIGEST

1.  Protest that agency used risk as an unstated evaluation factor is dismissed since
performance  risk is intrinsic to stated evaluation factors.

2. Protest that agency unreasonably evaluated protester's quotation under four
technical elements as unacceptable is dismissed where protester is not an interested
party because it abandoned challenges about two of the elements that make the
protester's quotation ineligible for award.
DECISION

South Dade  Air Conditioning and Refrigeration, Inc., of Selma, Alabama, protests the
establishment of a blanket purchase agreement (BPA) with Raven  Services
Corporation, of Manassas, Virginia, under solicitation No. 47PD0322Q0004, issued by
the General Services Administration (GSA) for facilities engineering, operations and
maintenance,  and related services at fourteen locations throughout the state of
Alabama.  South  Dade asserts that the agency unreasonably evaluated its quotation as
unacceptable and  ineligible for the BPA.


We  dismiss the protest.
