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. No party requested redactions; Decision We are therefore releasing the decision in its entirety. Matter of: Diversified Elevator Service and Equipment Company, Inc. File: B-421925; B-421925.2 Date: November 21, 2023 Matthew T. Schoonover, Esq., Matthew P. Moriarty, Esq., John M. Mattox II, Esq., Ian P. Patterson, Esq., and Timothy J. Laughlin, Esq., Schoonover & Moriarty LLC, for the protester. Cyril lyasele, Black & Loans, LLC, the intervenor. Andrew J. Smith, Esq., Major Bruce A. Nessler, Captain Dmitrius R. McGruder, and Nolan T. Koon, Esq., Department of the Army, for the agency. Paul N. Wengert, Esq., and Tania Calhoun, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest that agency misevaluated awardee's proposal is denied where the record shows the evaluation was reasonable and consistent with the terms of the solicitation. 2. Protest that awardee would fail to comply with a clause limiting subcontracting is denied where the proposal on its face did not indicate that the awardee intended to violate the limitation. DECISION Diversified Elevator Service and Equipment Company, Inc., of Millbrook, Alabama, a small business, protests the award of a contract to Black & Loans, LLC, of Atlanta, Georgia, also a small business, under request for proposals (RFP) No. W911 SF-23-R-0006, issued by the Department of the Army for commercial elevator repairs and services at Fort Moore, Georgia. Diversified argues that the Army misevaluated the awardee's proposal as acceptable and lacked a basis to find the firm satisfied multiple definitive responsibility criteria in the RFP. We deny the protest.
