Comptroller General Washington, DC 20548 of the United States DOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE The decision issued on the date below was subject to D e s / ' +'a GAO Protective Order. This redacted version has been approved for public release. Matter of: Odyssey Systems Consulting Group, Ltd. File: B-419731; B-419731.2; B-419731.3 Date: July 15, 2021 David S. Cohen, Esq., Laurel A. Hockey, Esq., Daniel Strouse, Esq., John J. O'Brien, Esq., and Rhina Cardena, Esq., Cordatis Law LLP, for the protester. Damien C. Specht, Esq., R. Locke Bell, Esq., Alissandra D. Young, Esq., and Lyle F. Hedgecock, Esq., Morrison & Foerster LLP, for Millennium Engineering and Integration LLC, the intervenor. Charles McCarthy, Esq., and Torrie Harris, Esq., General Services Administration, for the agency. Lois Hanshaw, Esq., and Evan C. Williams, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Where the Small Business Administration and a protester both proffer reasonable, but different, interpretations of SBA's regulations, our Office gives deference to the SBA's reasonable interpretation of its own regulation, and finds no basis to sustain a challenge to the awardee's eligibility for award of a task order set aside for small businesses where the agency's award determination was consistent with the SBA's interpretation. 2. Protest challenging an agency's evaluation of the protester's proposal and award decision is denied where the record reflects that the evaluation was reasonable and consistent with the terms of the solicitation. DECISION Odyssey Systems Consulting Group, Ltd. (Odyssey), a small business of Wakefield, Massachusetts, protests the issuance of a task order to Millennium Engineering and Integration LLC (Millennium), of Arlington, Virginia, under request for proposals (RFP) No. 47QFPA21 R0004, issued by the General Services Administration (GSA) for engineering, program management, and technical support services. Odyssey challenges Millennium's eligibility for award and the agency's evaluation of proposals. We deny the protest.
