Comptroller General Washington, DC 20548 of the United States DOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE The decision issued on the date below was subject to a GAO Protective Order. This redacted version has been approved for public release. Matter of: The Winvale Group, LLC File: B-418804 Date: August 6, 2020 Franklin C. Turner, Esq., Alexander W. Major, Esq., Cara A. Wulf, Esq., and Ethan M. Brown, Esq., McCarter & English, LLP, for the protester. Kristen Bergh, Esq., General Services Administration, 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 that the agency changed the method for submitting quotations without adequate notice is denied where the solicitation required submission through the General Services Administration's e-Buy portal, and e-Buy users were given advance notice of the changes to the portal. 2. Agency is not required to accept a late quotation, even in the absence of a late quotation provision, where the agency began substantial evaluation activities before receiving the protester's request to submit its late quotation. DECISION The Winvale Group, LLC, of Richmond, Virginia, a small business, challenges the decision by the General Services Administration (GSA) to reject its request to submit a quotation after the closing date established by request for quotations (RFQ) No. 47HAA020Q0086, which was issued for a commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) enterprise project management information system. The protester argues that the agency improperly revised the procedures for submitting quotations without providing vendors notice of the change, and that the agency should in any event permit the protester to submit a quotation because the RFQ did not specifically prohibit late submissions. We deny the protest.
