DIGEST

Protest challenging agency finding that protester's quotation was nonresponsive is
denied where the record indicates that the protester failed to submit a fully responsive
quotation.
DECISION

Land Shark Shredding, LLC, a service-disabled veteran-owned small business
(SDVOSB) of Bowling Green, Kentucky, challenges the decision not to issue it a task
order under request for quotations (RFQ) No. 36C24218Q0018, issued by the
Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) for document shredding services for the New
Jersey VA Health Care System. The protester contends that the agency unreasonably
found its quotation nonresponsive and that it should have been issued the task order.

We deny the protest.

BACKGROUND

The RFQ, posted on the General Services Administration's (GSA) e-Buy1 system on
November 30, 2017, was set aside for veteran-owned small businesses (VOSB) and
requested quotations from vendors holding a GSA Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) 36

1 The e-Buy portal is designated in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) subpart 8.4 as
GSA's electronic RFQ system where ordering activities post requirements. FAR
§ 8.402(d).
