          DIGEST

          Protest against issuance of task order is denied where the agency record of its
          evaluation of quotations was reasonable and consistent with the terms of the
          solicitation, and the contracting officer appropriately documented the evaluation and
          best value tradeoff consistent with the requirements applicable in the selection of a
          Federal Supply Schedule contractor.
          DECISION

          Delta Building Services, Inc., of Northridge, California, a small business, protests the
          award of a Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) task order to the contractor teaming
          arrangement of Meridian Management Corporation, LLC, of Ocala, Florida, and
          Urban Services Group, Inc., of Atlanta, Georgia, a small business, by the General
          Services Administration (GSA) under request for quotations (RFQ)
          No. GS-08P-1 1 -JB-C-0028 for operations and maintenance, landscaping, and snow
          removal services for the David Skaggs Research Center (DSRC) in Boulder,
          Colorado, and the Fort Collins Federal Office Building in Fort Collins, Colorado.
          Delta argues that the GSA misevaluated the firm's quotation, failed to document the
          evaluation, and made an unreasonable source selection decision.

          We deny the protest.

          BACKGROUND

          On May 5, 2011, the GSA issued the RFQ to 10 firms holding FSS contracts under
          GSA Schedule 03FAC, the facilities maintenance and management schedule
