Accountability * Integrity * Reliability of the United States United States Government Accountability Office Washington, DC 20548 Decision Matter of: INDUS Technology, Inc. File: B-297800.13 Date: June 25, 2007 Ronald K. Henry, Esq., Kaye Scholer LLP, the protester. Adele Ross Vine, Esq., General Services Administration, for the agency. Edward Goldstein, Esq., and Christine S. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Agency reasonably excluded offeror's proposals from competition where the cover letters accompanying the proposals provided for an acceptance period of 180 days, and the solicitation required a minimum acceptance period of 350 days and specifically stated that proposals providing less than the minimum acceptance period would be rejected. DECISION INDUS Technology, Inc. protests its exclusion from consideration for the award of a contract under request for proposals (RFP) No. 6FG2005MYV000001, issued by the General Services Administration (GSA) for information technology services. INDUS argues that its proposal was improperly excluded from the competition for failing to provide the minimum acceptance period established by the RFP. We deny the protest.

The RFP contemplated the award of a government-wide acquisition contract (GWAC), referred to as the Veterans Technology Services GWAC (VETS GWAC), whereby GSA would select and administer a pool of pre-qualified, SDVOSB firms that would compete for information technology task orders from individual agencies across the federal government. More specifically, the RFP provided that the GWAC would consist of approximately 20 indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (ID/IQ) contract
