Comptroller General Washington, DC 20548 of the United States .......................................................................................................................

Matter of: Trademasters Service, Inc. File: B-418546 Date: June 10, 2020 Timothy F. Valley, Esq., Jason A. Blindauer, Esq., and Meghan F. Leemon, Esq., Piliero Mazza PLLC, for the protester. Robert Notigan, Esq., General Services Administration, for the agency. Michael Willems, Esq., and Edward Goldstein, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest that solicitation deprives vendors of the ability to compete intelligently is denied where the record shows that the solicitation is drafted in a fashion that enables vendors to intelligently prepare their proposals and is sufficiently free from ambiguity so that vendors may compete on a common basis. DECISION Trademasters Service, Inc., a small business of Lorton, Virginia, protests the terms of request for quotations (RFQ) No. 47PD01 20Q0001, issued by the General Services Administration (GSA) for facilities, engineering, operation, and maintenance services at a GSA regional office building. The protester alleges that the RFQ does not provide sufficient information to permit vendors to compete intelligently and fairly. We deny the protest.
