Decision
Matter of: ICS Nett, Inc.
File:     B-422575
Date:     July 24, 2024
Kaiser Gill, Esq., Gill Law Firm, for the protester.
Andrew Smith, Esq., Lieutenant Colonel Michael Tregle, Major Brittney Montgomery,
and Major Brandon Mark, Missle Defense Agency, for the agency.
Suresh S. Boodram, Esq., and Evan D. Wesser, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
DIGEST
Protest challenging agency's decision to reject the protester's proposal as late is denied
where the proposal was not timely received by the agency in a manner consistent with
the terms of the solicitation and there is no evidence of systemic failure of the online
portal authorized for submission of proposals.
DECISION
ICS Nett, Inc., a small business of Chantilly, Virginia, protests its exclusion from
consideration for award under request for proposals (RFP) No. HQ0857-24-R-0001,
issued by the Department of Defense, Missile Defense Agency (MDA), for agency
information management and software services (AIMSS). The protester contends that
the agency should have accepted its proposal because the delay in submission was
due to a system failure of the agency's online portal designated for submission of
proposals.
We deny the protest.
BACKGROUND
The RFP, which was issued on November 6, 2023, and subsequently amended five
times, sought proposals for AIMSS as a follow-on contract to continue providing data
management support after the expiration of MDA's incumbent contract. Agency Report
