Matter of:   Intelligent Waves LLC

File:        B-416169; B-416169.2

Date:        June 12, 2018

Lee Dougherty, Esq., and Katherine S. Saphier, Esq., Effectus PLLC, for the protester.
Daniel R. Forman, Esq., Robert J. Sneckenberg, Esq., and Rosamond Z. Xiang, Esq.,
Crowell & Moring LLP, for Systems Made Simple, Inc., the intervenor.
Frank V. DiNicola, Esq., Mellany Alio, Esq., and Kerry A. McGrath, Esq., Department of
Veterans Affairs, for the agency.
Charmaine A. Stevenson, Esq., and Laura Eyester, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
DIGEST

1. Protest is dismissed where a challenge to the solicitation's past performance
evaluation methodology, and agency's clarification of the methodology issued prior to
the proposal due date, was not filed until after the agency had received proposals,
completed its evaluation, and issued the task order.

2. Protest challenging agency's evaluation of protester's technical proposal and
selection decision is denied where the record shows that the evaluation and selection
decision were reasonable and consistent with the terms of the solicitation.
DECISION

Intelligent Waves LLC, a service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB) of
Reston, Virginia, protests the issuance of a task order to Systems Made Simple, Inc.
(SMS), of Vienna, Virginia under request for task execution plan (RTEP) No. T4NG-
0294, issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), for infrastructure operations
services support. The protester challenges the past performance evaluation
methodology, the evaluation of its proposal, and the selection decision.


We dismiss the protest in part, and deny it in part.
