Comptroller General Washington, DC 20548 of the United States --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE The decision issued on the date below was subject to a Decision GAO Protective Order. No party requested redactions; we are therefore releasing the decision in its entirety. Matter of: Bauer Technologies, Inc. File: B-415717.2; B-415717.3 Date: June 22, 2018 Steven J. Koprince, Esq., Matthew T. Schoonover, Esq., Shane J. McCall, Esq., and Nicole D. Pottroff, Esq., Koprince Law, LLC, for the protester. Dominique L. Casimir, Esq., and Alexandra L. Barbee-Garrett, Esq., Arnold & Porter Kaye Scholer LLP, for Taurean General Services, Inc., the intervenor. Mark B. Grebel, Esq., and Colleen M. Eagan, Esq., Defense Information Systems Agency, for the agency. April Y. Shields, Esq., and Christina Sklarew, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest challenging acceptability of awardee's quotation for allegedly departing from administrative requirements is denied with regard to its inclusion of a document where the solicitation did not prohibit such submission; and dismissed with regard to the alleged use of a non-conforming type font where the record does not support the allegation. 2. Protest alleging agency conducted a flawed and inadequately documented price realism analysis of awardee's quotation is dismissed where the record shows that a price realism analysis was neither required by the solicitation nor conducted. DECISION Bauer Technologies, Inc., of Arlington, Virginia, protests the issuance of a task order to Taurean General Services, Inc., of San Antonio, Texas, under request for quotations (RFQ) No. 831710439, issued by the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) for technical support services. The protester contends that the agency should have excluded the awardee's quotation from consideration because it allegedly departed from the RFQ's administrative requirements. The protester also contends that the agency conducted a flawed and inadequately documented price realism analysis of the awardee's quotation. We deny the protest in part and dismiss it in part.
