Comptroller General Washington, DC 20548 of the United States Decision Matter of: Trade Links Logistics General Trading Company File: B-416571; B-416571.2 Date: September 24, 2018 Jafer Tanda, for the protester. Colonel C. Taylor Smith, and Danielle A. Runyan, Esq., Department of the Air Force, 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. Protest challenging the rejection of the protester's quotation as unacceptable is denied where the record shows that the agency reasonably found that the quotation failed to address a mandatory requirement in the technical quotation. 2. Protest that the solicitation contained latent ambiguities is dismissed for lack of prejudice where the alleged ambiguities were unrelated to the reasons for rejecting the protester's quotation as unacceptable. 3. Protest that the agency improperly accepted quotations from vendors that were not directly solicited, and that the agency improperly accepted late quotations, is dismissed for lack of prejudice where none of the vendors who submitted the challenged quotations received awards. DECISION Trade Links Logistics General Trading Company, of Kuwait, protests the establishment of blanket purchase agreements (BPAs) with British Link Kuwait, The Bridge Co., Dou'A Al Kuwait, and Gulf Pioneer, all of Kuwait, under request for quotations (RFQ) No. FA5819-18-Q-0008, for sand removal at Ahmed Al Jaber Air Base, Kuwait. The protester argues that the agency unreasonably found its quotation unacceptable, the solicitation contained latent ambiguities, and the agency improperly accepted quotations from vendors who were not directly solicited and also improperly accepted late quotations. We deny in part and dismiss in part the protest.
