Comptroller General Washington, DC 20548 of the United States DOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE Decision The decision issued on the date below was subject to Decisiona GAO Protective Order. This redacted version has been approved for public release. Matter of: ConsortiEX, Inc. File: B-422078; B-422078.2 Date: December 22, 2023 Stephen P. Ramaley, Esq., C. Peter Dungan, Esq., Adam A. Bartolanzo, Esq., and Lauren S. Fleming, Esq., Miles & Stockbridge P.C., for the protester. Lawrence P. Block, Esq., Lawrence S. Sher, Esq., Elizabeth G. Leavy, Esq., William T. Kirkwood, Esq., Winston & Strawn LLP, for LSPedia, Inc., the intervenor. Desiree A. DiCorcia, Esq., and Rachel Fromm, Esq., Department of Veterans Affairs, for the agency. Michelle Litteken, Esq., and Christina Sklarew, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest that the solicitation was latently ambiguous is without a basis where the protester does not show an ambiguity. To the extent the protester alleges a lack of clarity in the solicitation, the alleged lack of clarity was evident prior to the deadline for receipt of proposals, and this argument, having first been raised after award, is dismissed as an untimely challenge to the terms of the solicitation. 2. Protest alleging the contracting officer ignored adverse information when making a responsibility determination is dismissed where the assertion on which the protest is based does not constitute the type of allegation that triggers a review under our Bid Protest Regulations. 3. Protest that the agency's past performance evaluation was unreasonable is denied where the agency's judgments were reasonable and consistent with the terms of the solicitation. 4. Protest challenging the agency's best-value award decision is denied where the record shows that the selection authority's comparisons were meaningful and based on the agency's reasonable evaluation of the competing proposals.
