Comptroller General Washington, DC 20548 of the United States DOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE The decision issued on the date below was subject to Decision a GAO Protective Order. This redacted version has been approved for public release. Matter of: Eccalon LLC File: B-420297; B-420297.2 Date: January 24, 2022 David S. Panzer, Esq., and Michael E. Hatch, Esq., White Taylor & Preston LLP, for the protester. Katherine B. Burrows, Esq., Jacqueline K. Unger, Esq., Patrick T. Rothwell, Esq., and Anna R. Wright, Esq., Piliero Mazza PLLC, for Contracting Resources Group, Inc., the intervenor. Stephan Piel, Esq., Department of Defense, for the agency. Jacob M. Talcott, Esq., and Jennifer D. Westfall-McGrail, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest challenging the agency's evaluation of the awardee's quotation under experience factor is denied where evaluation was reasonable and consistent with the terms of the solicitation. An agency's consideration of a proposed subcontractor's past performance is permissible where the solicitation neither prohibits nor mentions the evaluation of such information. 2. Protest challenging the agency's evaluation of protester's quotation is sustained where the agency considered a factor that was not reasonably encompassed within the evaluation criteria and the record fails to demonstrate a reasonable basis for the agency's conclusions. DECISION Eccalon, LLC, a small business of Hanover, Maryland, protests the issuance of a task order to Contracting Resources Group, Inc. (CRG), a small business of Baltimore, Maryland, issued by the Department of Defense (DOD), Washington Headquarters Services - Acquisition Directorate, under request for quotations (RFQ) No. HQ0034-21- Q-0019, for services to support the DOD's Office of Small Business Programs in increasing small business participation in DOD acquisitions. The protester contends the agency unreasonably evaluated quotations, which resulted in an unreasonable source selection decision.
