Comptroller General Washington, DC 20548 of the United States Decision Matter of: Ecology Mir Group, LLC File: B-422881 Date: September 12, 2024 Zach McKnight and Marcia Compton, Ecology Mir Group, LLC, for the protester. Ann M. Calabrese, Esq., James M. Chisholm, Esq., and John Toner, Esq., Department of the Navy, for the agency. Todd C. Culliton, Esq., and Tania Calhoun, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest is untimely where it was filed more than 10 days after the agency advised the protester that its quotation was evaluated as technically unacceptable. DECISION Ecology Mir Group, LLC (EMG), of Fairfax, Virginia, protests the issuance of a federal supply schedule (FSS) purchase order to another vendor under request for quotations (RFQ) No. N3220524Q4076A, issued by the Department of the Navy, Military Sealift Command, for lodging negotiation and management services. EMG argues that the agency unreasonably evaluated its quotation as technically unacceptable. We dismiss the protest as untimely. The agency issued the RFQ via the General Service Administration's eBuy system pursuant to the procedures set forth in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) subpart 8.4 to procure lodging negotiation and management services for United States Naval Ship Kanawha personnel. RFQ at 1; RFQ, attach. 4, Performance Work Statement (PWS) at 1. The agency required vendors to provide multiple extended stay studio rooms over a 3-month period in Mobile, Alabama, with eight additional 1-week options. PWS at 1. The RFQ advised that award would be made on a lowest-priced, technically acceptable basis. RFQ at 3. The solicitation period closed on August 8, 2024. Id. at 1. On August 13, the Navy issued the purchase order to another vendor, and notified EMG and the other remaining vendors through the eBuy system that their quotations were unsuccessful. Award Notice--1 at 1.
