Comptroller General Washington, DC 20548 of the United States Decision Matter of: DataSavers of Jacksonville, Inc. File: B-415113.3 Date: August 24, 2018 Michael Lombardi, for the protester. Daniel R. Forman, Esq., James G. Peyster, Esq., Olivia L. Lynch, Esq., and Stephanie L. Crawford, Esq., Crowell & Moring LLP, for Iron Mountain Information Management, LLC, an intervenor. Paul B. Oman, Esq., and Peter G. Hartman, Esq., Department of Homeland Security, for the agency. Louis A. Chiarella, Esq., and Peter H. Tran, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest challenging the agency's evaluation of protester's quotation as technically unacceptable is denied where the evaluation was reasonable, consistent with the solicitation, and adequately documented. 2. Protest challenging an apparent solicitation defect--that a requirement was believed to be physically unattainable--is dismissed as untimely where the protester did not challenge the alleged defect prior to the due date for receipt of quotations.
