Matter of: Oc6 Government Services, Inc. File: B-409922 Date: September 18, 2014 Andrew J. Mohr, Esq., John J. O'Brien, Esq., Catherine K. Kroll, Esq., Gabriel E. Kennon, Esq., and Amy J. Spencer, Esq., Cohen Mohr LLP, for the protester. Tudo N. Pham, Esq., Department of State; and Nathan C. Guerrero, Esq., General Services Administration, for the agencies. Nora K. Adkins, Esq., and Jonathan L. Kang, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest challenging the agency's rejection of the protester's proposal under a solicitation issued to vendors under a General Services Administration Federal Strategic Sourcing Initiative blanket purchase agreement (BPA) is denied where the agency reasonably concluded that the protester did not have a BPA, and that the protester did not demonstrate that its offer was submitted as a participating dealer in the name of an entity holding one of the BPAs. DECISION Oc6 Government Services, Inc., of Springfield, Virginia, protests the rejection of its proposal under request for proposals (RFP) No. SAQMMA-14-R-0244, which was issued by the Department of State (DOS) to vendors under a General Services Administration's (GSA) Federal Strategic Sourcing Initiative (FSSI) print management blanket purchase agreement (BPA) for the lease of multifunctional copier devices and services. The protester maintains that the agency unreasonably rejected its proposal because the agency mistakenly believed that Oc6, which does not hold a BPA, could not submit a proposal and receive the award as a participating dealer under another vendor's GSA FSSI BPA. We deny the protest.
