This redacted version has been approved for public release. L ................................................................................................................. SBSI, Inc. B-410923 March 20, 2015 David A. Edelstein, Esq., Asmar, Schor & McKenna, PLLC, for the protester. LtC Gregory J. Fike, Esq., Defense Intelligence Agency, for the agency. Gary R. Allen, Esq., and Christina Sklarew, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest that an agency improperly rejected a proposal because it included identifying information is denied where the solicitation explicitly required that such information be redacted from proposals. DECISION Strategic Business Solutions, Inc. (SBSI), of Reston, Virginia, protests the rejection of its proposal under request for proposals (RFP) No. HHM402-14-R-0005,1 issued by the Defense Intelligence Agency, for support services to help establish internal controls; demonstrate and sustain audit readiness; and support a wide range of activities, such as financial, resource, and project management. The protester argues that the agency improperly determined that SBSI's proposal was unacceptable, based on its failure to comply with the solicitation's requirement that identifying information be redacted from proposals. We deny the protest. 1 This procurement follows a previous award of multiple contracts under the agency's Solutions for Intelligence Financial Management (SIFM) program, and is therefore sometimes referred to as the SIFM II RFP in the record. SBSI was awarded a contract and issued task orders under the prior SIFM procurement.
