This redacted version has been approved for public release Matter of: Guidehouse Inc. File: B-422115.2 Date: January 19, 2024 Brian Walsh, Esq., Tracye Winfrey Howard, Esq., Cara L. Sizemore, Esq., and Jennifer Eve Retener, Esq., Wiley Rein LLP, for the protester. Kara L. Daniels, Esq., Craig A.

McKenney, Esq., National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, for the agency. Sarah T. Zaffina, Esq., and Evan D. Wesser, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest challenging the agency's decision not to consider the vendor's quotation is denied where the quotation was not timely received by the agency in a manner consistent with the terms of the solicitation. 2. Protest challenging the agency's best-value determination is dismissed where the agency reasonably determined that the vendor's late quotation was ineligible for award, and therefore, the vendor is not an interested party to challenge the agency's evaluation. DECISION Guidehouse Inc. of McLean, Virginia, protests the award of a contract to Kearney & Co., P.C. (Kearney) of Alexandria, Virginia, under request for quotations (RFQ) No. HM0476-23-Q-0004, issued by the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) for audit management and support services. Guidehouse alleges that NGA unreasonably rejected its quotation when part of its final quotation revision (FQR) was not delivered to the designated agency email inbox. Guidehouse also contends that the agency's evaluation of quotations and best-value determination were unreasonable. We deny the protest.
