Comptroller General Washington, DC 20548 of the United States Decision Matter of: AttainX, Inc. File: B-420313 Date: January 31, 2022 Daniel J. Strouse, Esq., Cordatis LLP, for the protester. Zachary D. Prince, Esq., Aaron A. Kor, Esq., Smith Pachter McWhorter PLC, for Reston Consulting Group, the intervenor. James Rhodes, Esq., John L. Guinan Jr, Esq., Department of Commerce, for the agency. Christopher An, Esq., and Edward Goldstein, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest that agency acted improperly by failing to consider a quotation that was timely submitted to the agency is denied. While the protester properly emailed the quotation to the address specified in solicitation, the email was quarantined by the agency's email server, never received by the contracting personnel, and discovered well after the award of the contract. Absent any evidence in the record of a systemic failure or problem, or that any other vendor's quotation was blocked, there is no basis to conclude that the agency acted improperly.

The protester contends that the agency failed to consider its timely submitted quotation. We deny the protest. BACKGROUND On May 5, 2021, NOAA issued the RFQ seeking a contractor to provide information management services with a focus on application development and data management
