File: B-408416.3 Date: March 5, 2014 Kristen E. Ittig, Esq., and Dominique L. Casimir, Esq., Arnold & Porter LLP, for the protester. Paul F. Khoury, Esq., Eric W.

Cox, Esq., Department of State, for the agency. Louis A. Chiarella, Esq., and Guy R. Pietrovito, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest challenging an agency's evaluation of vendors' technical quotations is dismissed as untimely where the protester could have and should have raised the challenges (or did so and abandoned the challenges) in a prior protest. 2. Protest that the agency improperly made award on a lowest-price, technically acceptable basis, where the solicitation provided for award on a best-value basis, is denied where the record shows that the agency reasonably found the protester's and awardee's quotations to be technically equal and selected the lower-priced quotation. DECISION Savvee Consulting, Inc., of Chantilly, Virginia, protests the issuance of a task order by the Department of State (DOS) to Edmonds Enterprise Services, Inc., of Alexandria, Virginia, under Edmonds' General Services Administration (GSA) Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) contract pursuant to request for quotations (RFQ) No. SAQMMA12RO371 for support services to DOS's Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC). Savvee challenges the agency's evaluation and selection decision. We dismiss the protest in part and deny it in part.
