Matter of:   NLT Management Services, LLC

File:     B-415936.11 ; B-415936.12; B-415936.13

Date:       June 19, 2020

Bryant S. Banes, Esq., and Sean D. Forbes, Esq., Neel, Hooper & Banes, P.C., for the
protester.
Aron C. Beezley, Esq., Sarah S. Osborne, Esq., Patrick R. Quigley, Esq., Nathaniel
J. Greeson, Esq., and Lisa A. Markman, Esq., Bradley Arant Boult Cummings LLP, for
MartinFederal Consulting, LLC, the intervenor.
Angela R. Williams, Esq., Department of Justice, for the agency.
Evan D. Wesser, Esq., and Edward Goldstein, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
DIGEST

1. Agency properly evaluated protester's proposal as technically unacceptable for
failing to provide a resume and letter of commitment/intent for a required position
because the agency reasonably found that the proposed candidate was not exempt
from the resume and letter of commitment/intent requirements as argued by the
protester.

2. Protest challenging the agency's evaluation of the awardee's proposal as technically
acceptable is denied when the record reflects that the agency's evaluation was
reasonable and consistent with the terms of the solicitation.
DECISION

NLT Management Services, LLC, a small business of Ewing Township, New Jersey,
protests the award of a contract to MartinFederal Consulting, LLC, a small business of
Huntsville, Alabama, under request for proposals (RFP) No. DJA-1 7-AHDQ-R-0035,
which was issued by the Department of Justice, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms,
and Explosives (ATF), for forensic and scientific laboratory administrative and technical
support services. NLT challenges the agency's evaluation of its proposal as technically
unacceptable, and the evaluation of MartinFederal's proposal as technically acceptable.


We deny the protest.
