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: HPI Federal, LLC File: B-422583 Date: August 9, 2024 Dawn E. Stern, Esq., Christie M. Alvarez, Esq., and Andrew W. Current, Esq., DLA Piper LLP (US), for the protester. Jonathan T. Williams, Esq., Katherine B. Burrows, Esq., Eric A. Valle, Esq., and Dozier L. Gardner, Jr., Esq., PilieroMazza PLLC, for Transource Services Corp., the intervenor. Erika Whelan Retta, Esq., Colonel Patricia Wiegman-Lenz, and Major Danelle McGinnis, Department of the Air Force, for the agency. Nathaniel S. Canfield, Esq., and Evan D. Wesser, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest challenging agency's acceptance of representation of Trade Agreements Act (TAA) compliance for certain quoted items as unreasonable is sustained where the representation does not state that the end products to be delivered are U.S.-made, qualifying country, or designated country end products, but only states that the quoted items are assembled in a designated country. 2. Protest challenging agency's acceptance of representation of TAA compliance for another quoted item as unreasonable is denied where the quotation states the country of origin of the quoted item and the protester has not identified any information that reasonably should have caused the agency to believe that the firm will not provide compliant end products. DECISION HPI Federal, LLC, of Washington, D.C., protests the selection of Transource Services Corp., of Phoenix, Arizona, under request for quotations (RFQ) No. QEB2024B, issued by the Department of the Air Force for the provision of certain information technology (IT) products. The protester contends that the agency unreasonably determined that Transource's quotation complied with RFQ requirements for Trade Agreements Act (TAA) compliance. We sustain the protest in part and deny it in part.
