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. The entire decision has been approved for public release. Matter of: QED Group LLC d/b/a Q2 Impact File: B-421775.4 Date: November 12, 2024 Ryan C. Bradel, Esq., Peter Tyson Marx, Esq., Nicholas L. Perry, Esq., and Brian S. Yu, Esq., Ward & Berry, PLLC, for the protester. Christopher Murphy, Esq., General Services Administration, for the agency. Hannah G. Barnes, Esq., and Christina Sklarew, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest challenging the elimination of a proposal from consideration for award is denied where the agency's decision was in accordance with the plain language of the Federal Acquisition Regulation. 2. Protest alleging disparate treatment fails to state a valid basis for protest where the protester's allegations are based only on speculation. DECISION QED Group LLC, d/b/a Q2 Impact, a small business of Arlington, Virginia, protests the General Services Administration's (GSA) disqualification of Q2 Impact's proposal from consideration for award under request for proposals (RFP) No. 47QRCA23R0001. GSA issued the RFP for the award of multiple indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity governmentwide acquisition contracts for a variety of services-based solutions, known as One Acquisition Solution for Integrated Services Plus (OASIS+). Q2 Impact contends that the agency's decision to remove its proposal from consideration for award is contrary to the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and asserts that the agency treated offerors disparately. We deny the protest in part and dismiss it in part. BACKGROUND The agency issued the solicitation on June 15, 2023. Agency Report (AR), Tab 4, RFP
