DECISION
LiveGreen Solutions, LLC, of Aberdeen, Maryland, protests the award of a contract to
Bluestone Environmental Group, Inc., of Berwyn, Pennsylvania, by the Department of
the Army, under request for quotations (RFQ) No. W56TN-1 7-T-001 8, for pollution
prevention transportation support services. LiveGreen alleges that the awardee lacks
experience with commuter issues, which was required by the RFQ.
We deny the protest.
BACKGROUND
The Army issued the RFQ on August 11, 2017, for the purpose of obtaining pollution
prevention transportation support services to support the Aberdeen Proving Ground
pollution prevention program. The successful contractor was to be selected on a
lowest-price, technically acceptable basis, considering three technical evaluation
factors: key personnel, experience, and past performance. With respect to the
experience factor, the RFQ required quotations to include a:
Cover letter demonstrating [the] Offeror (the contractor) having
at least two years of experience in pollution prevention,
commuter issues, and conducting outreach education events.](ViewImageLocal?handle=hein.gao/gaobaduaf0001&div=1&collection=&method=preview&ext=.png&size=3)
