Decision


Matter of: Service Connected, Inc.

File:        B-416324

Date:       June 11, 2018

Joshua Fine, for the protester.
Azine Farzami, Esq., Department of Agriculture, for the agency.
Jonathan L. Kang, Esq., and Laura Eyester, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO,
participated in the preparation of the decision.
DIGEST

1. Protester that was awarded a multiple-award blanket purchase agreement (BPA) is
an interested party to challenge the award of BPAs to other vendors where the terms of
the solicitation provided for a ranking of awardees for purposes of placing orders; the
protester's eligibility for the issuance of task orders was therefore affected by its ranking
as compared to other awardees.

2. Protest that a solicitation should have included an evaluation preference for service-
disabled veteran-owned small businesses is dismissed as untimely where the protest
was filed after the time for receipt of initial quotations.

3. Protest challenging the evaluation of other awardees is dismissed where the
solicitation did not require the agency to consider the issues raised by the protester, and
where challenges regarding the small business status of awardees is a matter for
review by the Small Business Administration.

4. Protester's arguments that it is entitled to compensation in connection with prior
BPAs, and that termination of a prior BPA was improper, are matters of contract
administration that our Office does not review.
