handle is hein.gao/gaoqqo0001 and id is 1 raw text is: GAO U.S. GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABILITY OFFICE 441 G St. N.W. 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; D eC I sio we are therefore releasing the decision in its entirety. Matter of: KSC, Inc., d/b/a Cups and Company File: B-422597 Date: July 30, 2024 John Shin, Esq., and Yue He, Esq., Shin Legal, PLLC, for the protester. Robert Carson, Esq., Lloyd Subin, Esq., and John Ward, Esq., Architect of the Capitol, for the agency. Cosette Vincent, 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 improperly failed to provide a required debriefing is dismissed because GAO will not consider protests based on the content of, or failure to provide, a debriefing because the alleged violation does not affect the award of the challenged contract. 2. Protest that agency took actions that unfairly favored the awardee is dismissed where the protester is not an interested party because the record demonstrates that a third offeror's proposal was in line for award ahead of the protester's, and the protester does not challenge the evaluation of either that firm's or the protester's own proposal. DECISION KSC, Inc., doing business as Cups and Company, of Vienna, Virginia, protests the award of a contract to Restaurant Associates, LLC, of New York, New York, under request for proposals (RFP) No. AOCSSB23ROO60, issued by the Architect of the Capitol (AOC) to provide food services at the Everett Dirksen Senate Office Building in Washington, D.C.1 The protester contends that the competition was unfair, and that the AOC has unjustifiably refused to provide a debriefing. 1 AOC is not a federal agency within the purview of our Bid Protest Regulations, 4 C.F.R. § 21.5(g), but the agency has agreed to have our Office consider bid protests challenging its procurements. 50 Fed. Reg. 30,293 (July 25, 1985); see Bid Protest Regulations, 4 C.F.R. § 21.13(a).
