Jeffrey Hildebrant, Esq., Department of the Air Force, for the agency. Frank Maguire, Esq., and David A. Ashen, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Agency properly declined to award to protester where the solicitation requested quotations for five contract line items (CLIN) but the protester quoted prices for 15 contract line items as well as a Total Amount for all 15 CLINs, and the contracting officer reasonably evaluated the quoted price at that total amount and found that the protester's quotation was not the lowest-priced, technically acceptable quotation.

The protester asserts that it submitted the lowest-priced, technically acceptable quotation and therefore should have received the award. We deny the protest. BACKGROUND The RFQ, issued on May 19, 2014, included five contract line items (CLIN), including CLINs for an oscilloscope, memory option, removable hard drive package, rack assembly, and an external General Purpose Interface Bus (GPIB) adapter.
