Comptroller General Washington, DC 20548 of the United States ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE The decision issued on the date below was subject to Decision a GAO Protective Order. This redacted version has 1been approved for public release. Matter of: CEdge Software Consultants, LLC File: B-418128.2; B-418128.3; B-418128.4; B-418128.5 Date: March 19, 2020 James Y. Boland, Esq., Michael T. Francel, Esq., and Caleb E. McCallum, Esq., Venable LLP, for the protester. Elizabeth N. Jochum, Esq. and Zachary D. Prince, Esq., Smith Pachter McWhorter PLC, for the intervenor. Colonel Patricia S. Weigman-Lenz, Heather M. Mandelkehr, Esq., Lieutenant Colonel Nathaniel H. Sears, and Alexis J.

Christopher Alwood, Esq., and Christina Sklarew, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest is sustained in a negotiated procurement for the issuance of a task order on a best-value tradeoff basis, in which the solicitation provided for a comparative, qualitative evaluation of quotations, where there is no evidence in the record showing that the agency performed a qualitative assessment of the merits of the vendors' differing technical approaches to support its source selection decision. DECISION CEdge Software Consultants, LLC (CEdge), a small business of Creve Coeur, Missouri, protests the issuance of a task order to TekSynap Corporation, a small business of Reston, Virginia, under request for quotations (RFQ) No. HTC711-19-Q-D005, issued by the United States Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM) for enterprise information technology (IT) services support for the military surface deployment and distribution command (SDDC).1 The protester alleges the agency misevaluated quotations and made an unreasonable source selection decision. 1 The Department of the Air Force is defending the protest on behalf of USTRANSCOM, one of eleven unified combatant commands within the Department of Defense (DOD).
